      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core general-purpose instance delivering strong multi-threaded performance and high memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform n2-standard-96 is a general-purpose server featuring 96 vCPUs and 384.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It contains 48 physical cores with hyperthreading and a 54 MB L3 cache, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent throughput for database operations, Redis, and static web serving. Conversely, single-core performance is average, and large-scale LLM inference is limited. This instance is highly efficient for parallelized workloads, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      3.7Score
      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.
