    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server featuring high-capacity local NVMe storage and dedicated Intel Xeon processors for demanding database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-14-standardlssd is a memory-optimized server configured with 14 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8481C processor, 112 GB of RAM, and a 3221 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, this instance features advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmark data indicates solid performance for memory-bound and database applications, with a Passmark database score of 6737.04 and Redis SET operations reaching 15.53 million operations per second. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core, combined with substantial local NVMe storage, provides a resource-dense profile for workloads requiring fast local disk access. However, the lack of a GPU limits its utility for large-scale AI inference, as demonstrated by prompt processing speeds dropping to 9.0 tokens per second on a 70B model. This server is best suited for memory-intensive databases, caching layers, and local data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.994Score
    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.
