      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An arm64 server featuring forty-eight dedicated physical cores and balanced memory configuration for predictable multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-48 is an arm64 general-purpose server instance equipped with 48 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, translating to 4.0 GB of memory per core, with no bundled local storage or GPUs. The instance exhibits strong multi-core CPU performance in stress-ng benchmarks, though single-core processing and text-based operations are relatively weak. Memory bandwidth remains average, with read speeds of 181.23 GB/sec for large uncached blocks. Lacking AVX and AMX extensions, it is not optimized for heavy vector math, which is reflected in its weak performance during large-scale LLM text generation. The t2a-standard-48 is recommended for multi-threaded workloads, static web serving, software compilation, and database operations where physical core isolation and balanced memory-to-CPU ratios are required.

      Workload Profiles

      2.2Score
      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.
