      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high memory bandwidth for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-48 is an x86_64 virtual machine instance configured with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 384.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz, it features 24 physical cores, a 33 MB L3 cache, and supports AVX-512 instructions. This instance does not include local storage or GPUs. Benchmark data highlights strong performance in uncached large-block memory bandwidth, with reads at 212.65 GB/sec and writes at 98.19 GB/sec, alongside a high static web serving throughput of 47.78 GB/sec. Other compute and database benchmarks fall within the average range. The n2-highmem-48 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads, making it highly suitable for large databases, in-memory caching, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      2.39Score
      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.
