      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 48-vCPU compute-optimized instance featuring a one-to-one gigabyte-to-core ratio for CPU-heavy processing workloads without local storage overhead.

      Compute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor. It is equipped with 48.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1.0 GB per vCPU ratio, and contains no bundled local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 44617.16 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 10859.0. The server demonstrates strong capabilities in software compilation and static web serving, achieving a throughput of 29.33 GB/sec. However, its low memory-to-CPU ratio presents a tradeoff for memory-intensive tasks, as evidenced by a weak text generation speed of 53.69 tokens/sec on small LLM models. This configuration is recommended for compute-heavy workloads such as multi-threaded decompression, software building, and web serving.

      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.
