      Server Description

      A dedicated forty-eight core compute-optimized instance designed for high-throughput processing, software compilation, and multi-threaded workloads without memory overhead.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 48 dedicated vCPUs (24 physical Intel Xeon cores) running at 2.8 GHz and 48.0 GB of RAM. Designed for CPU-intensive tasks, it provides a 1.0 GB per core memory ratio and does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data places the instance in the average tier for most operations, with a multi-core stress-ng score of 44,617.16 and a Redis SET performance of 41.27 million operations per second. However, it exhibits weaker performance in single-threaded gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring high compute density without large memory overhead, making it suitable for software compilation, multi-threaded data processing, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.79Score
      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.
