    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density bare-metal platform combining massive local NVMe storage with high-speed DDR5 memory for intensive database and data-processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-192-highlssd-metal is a storage-optimized bare-metal server featuring 192 vCPUs (96 physical Intel Xeon 8481C cores at 4.0 GHz) and 1.5 TB of 5 GHz DDR5 memory. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it integrates a massive 77,304 GB of local NVMe SSD storage but lacks GPU acceleration. In benchmarks, the server demonstrates top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory read bandwidth of up to 13,059.77 GB/sec, and superior database and Redis processing speeds. While single-threaded performance is comparatively moderate, its high resource density and direct hardware access provide excellent qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy deployments. This bare-metal instance is highly suited for large-scale databases, high-throughput caching layers, and intensive enterprise data-processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    7.25Score
    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.
