      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high memory bandwidth and advanced matrix extensions for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highmem-32 is a memory-optimized server configured with 32 dedicated Intel x86_64 vCPUs and 256 GB of RAM, yielding 8 GB of memory per core. It features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. The instance does not include local storage or GPU resources. In benchmark testing, it demonstrates strong memory performance, with uncached read bandwidth of 208.51 GB/sec and write bandwidth of 99.59 GB/sec, alongside strong static web serving throughput of 44.59 GB/sec. Computational and database benchmarks, including Redis SET operations at 36.28 million operations per second, fall within the average tier. This configuration is highly efficient for memory-intensive workloads, including in-memory databases, caching layers, enterprise web serving, and text or image processing pipelines.

      Workload Profiles

      2.02Score
      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.
