      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core-density compute server featuring ninety-six dedicated vCPUs and AVX-512 support for highly parallelized, CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-96 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical Intel Xeon cores running at 2.6 GHz. It is configured with 96.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 1.0 GB per core memory ratio, with no bundled local storage or GPUs. The architecture supports AVX-512 instructions, enabling strong multi-core CPU performance, software compilation, and ray tracing capabilities that rank in the top 25% of benchmarks. While single-core performance remains average, the server excels in memory bandwidth and parallel processing. This instance is highly suited for compute-bound workloads, including software compilation, image processing, static web serving, and database operations, though its low memory-to-core ratio presents a tradeoff for memory-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      3.92Score
      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.
