    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    High-density memory and massive local NVMe storage optimized for demanding database operations and in-memory caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-22-standardlssd is a memory-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 22 dedicated vCPUs and 176 GB of RAM. It features 6442 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, offering high-speed local data access without external attachments. The server delivers strong performance in memory-intensive tasks, achieving a cached read bandwidth of 1495.22 GB/sec and 23.89 million Redis SET operations per second. It also supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX, enabling efficient text generation for small LLM models at 321.65 tokens per second. This instance is designed for memory-heavy and storage-intensive workloads, including in-memory databases, caching layers, and data processing pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    1.37Score
    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.
