    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage server featuring 176 vCPUs, 1.4 TB RAM, and 38 TB of local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-176-standardlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server designed for high-density enterprise workloads. It features 176 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, paired with 1408.0 GB of RAM and 38,652 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While single-core performance sits in the average tier, the server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, supported by advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. This hardware profile makes the instance highly efficient for memory-heavy and storage-intensive applications without requiring GPU acceleration. It is best suited for large-scale databases, in-memory data stores, high-throughput web serving, and multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    6.17Score
    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.
