      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized virtual machine featuring advanced Intel matrix extensions for demanding multi-threaded workloads and cryptographic processing.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 48 vCPUs across 24 physical Intel cores and 96 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, it relies on dedicated CPU allocation with a 260 MB L3 cache and advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. Benchmarks show strong multi-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 17,375.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 58,467.72. It excels in uncached large-block memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving. However, its 2.0 GB of RAM per core presents a tradeoff for memory-bound tasks, and large-scale LLM text generation is weak without GPU acceleration. This server is highly suited for compute-intensive workloads, cryptography, physics simulations, and web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      2.78Score
      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.
