      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized virtual server featuring advanced matrix extensions and strong multi-core performance for CPU-bound enterprise workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 48 vCPUs and 96 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel processor with 24 physical cores. It includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. The instance does not feature bundled local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU performance, high large-block memory bandwidth, and excellent throughput in database operations, ray tracing, and static web serving. Conversely, large-scale LLM text generation is a performance bottleneck due to the absence of dedicated GPU accelerators. This server is highly cost-efficient for compute-bound workloads that require dense CPU resources without the overhead of excess memory, making it well-suited for software compilation, image processing, and high-throughput web serving. The 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio ensures resource density for parallel processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      2.81Score
      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.
