      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and strong memory performance for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-standard-48 is a general-purpose server instance featuring 48 vCPUs and 192 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.8 GHz. The architecture includes 24 physical cores with hyper-threading, a dedicated CPU allocation, and 33 MB of L3 cache. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates average CPU performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 44554.69 and a Passmark CPU score of 36697.34. However, its memory subsystem performs strongly, achieving a Passmark memory score of 2767.58 and a cached read bandwidth of 2479.5 GB/sec. This resource profile is suitable for database operations, static web serving, and software compilation. It exhibits weaker performance in LLM text generation, making it less optimal for intensive AI inference tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      1.7Score
      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.
