      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized server delivering strong multi-core performance and high memory bandwidth for parallel, CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-96 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs and 48 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.6 GHz. It is configured with 96.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:1 vCPU-to-memory ratio. This server does not include bundled local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent throughput for database operations, software compilation, and static web serving, while single-core metrics remain average. This profile makes the n2-highcpu-96 highly cost-efficient for parallel, CPU-bound workloads such as multi-threaded decompression, ray tracing, and high-throughput web serving that do not require massive memory allocations or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      3.95Score
      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.
