    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A bare-metal server combining 192 vCPUs, 1.5 TB DDR5 memory, and 77.3 TB of local NVMe SSD storage for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-192-highlssd-metal is an x86_64 bare-metal, storage-optimized server featuring 192 vCPUs from Intel Xeon 8481C processors running at 4.0 GHz, paired with 1.5 TB of 5 GHz DDR5 memory and a massive 77304 GB local NVMe SSD storage array. Designed for high-throughput data workloads, it delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and outstanding database and Redis operation speeds, all ranking in the top 10 percent of benchmarks. While single-threaded compression performance is a notable tradeoff, the server's massive storage capacity and high memory density make it highly efficient for large-scale databases, real-time analytics, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    7.2Score
    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.
