      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-capacity, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 128 vCPUs and 864 GB RAM for demanding database and multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-128 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine configured with 128 dedicated vCPUs and 864 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.6 GHz, this instance features a 54 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 and AES instructions. It delivers strong multi-core and memory performance, highlighted by a PassMark CPU score of 84,295.77 and uncached memory read bandwidth of 329.21 GB/sec. However, it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, and single-core performance is average. This resource profile is highly cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that do not require local NVMe drives. It is best suited for large-scale databases, Redis deployments, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      4.6Score
      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.
