n4d-highcpu-48 by Google Cloud Platform

A compute-optimized x86_64 server configuration featuring forty-eight dedicated virtual cores and ninety-six gigabytes of system memory for CPU-bound workloads.

Google Cloud Platform n4d-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 architecture server instance within the n4d family, configured with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 96.0 GB of system memory. This resource allocation provides a ratio of 2.0 GB of RAM per core, positioning the instance for compute-heavy workloads. The server does not feature local storage or integrated GPU accelerators, meaning all storage requirements must be met using external block storage options. It also includes zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile is designed for high-density CPU tasks, making it suitable for workloads such as batch processing, web serving, and CI/CD pipelines. By omitting bundled local storage and GPUs, the instance offers a streamlined, cost-efficient option for deployments that prioritize raw CPU capacity over memory density or specialized hardware acceleration.
