      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A 96-vCPU general-purpose instance with 360 GB memory, high multi-threaded compute density, and strong memory bandwidth for scalable parallel execution.

      General Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-96 is a general-purpose instance featuring 96 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs derived from 48 Intel Xeon physical cores with hyper-threading. Equipped with 360 GB of system memory (3.75 GB per vCPU), it lacks local NVMe storage and dedicated GPUs. Supported instruction sets include AVX, AVX-512F, and AES. Benchmark evaluations demonstrate weaker single-threaded core performance alongside strong multi-core throughput and high memory bandwidth, reaching 213.36 GB/sec for uncached large-block reads and 62.03 million Redis SET operations per second. While single-threaded processing and LLM text generation remain limited, its high core count and memory transfer rates deliver efficient scale for concurrent workloads. The n1-standard-96 is well matched for distributed caching, highly parallel web serving, multi-threaded software build pipelines, and concurrent batch analytics.

      Workload Profiles

      2.3Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
