      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring ninety-six dedicated vCPUs and high memory bandwidth for demanding database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-96 is a memory-optimized instance featuring 96 vCPUs and 768 GB of RAM, powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture with dedicated CPU allocation, this instance provides 8 GB of memory per vCPU but does not include local storage or GPUs. Benchmark data highlights strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent database operation throughput, though single-core performance remains average. This resource profile makes the instance highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including large databases, in-memory caches, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      4Score
      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.
