      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-dense x86_64 server featuring 512 GB RAM and 64 vCPUs, optimized for software compilation and memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-64 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server configured with 64 dedicated vCPUs and 512.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon processor at 2.8 GHz. It features no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate strong capabilities in software compilation and image processing, placing in the top 25% tier, alongside solid memory bandwidth of 162.21 GB/sec for uncached large blocks. However, text generation for large 70B LLMs is weak at 2.56 tokens per second due to the lack of hardware acceleration. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-dense workloads that do not require local NVMe storage, making it suitable for database operations, software builds, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      2.19Score
      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.
