      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-dense virtual server featuring forty-eight dedicated vCPUs and a one-to-one gigabyte-to-core ratio for parallelized processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 48 dedicated vCPUs and 48 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz. It contains 24 physical cores with hyper-threading, supported by 33 MB of L3 cache and advanced instruction sets like AVX-512. This instance does not include bundled local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks reveal average multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 10859.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 44617.16, contrasted by weaker single-core performance. With a 1:1 RAM-to-vCPU ratio, it is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, memory-light tasks. It is best suited for workloads such as software compilation, static web serving, and multi-threaded processing.

      Workload Profiles

      1.8Score
      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.
