    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory and local NVMe storage server designed for data-intensive processing and high-throughput database workloads without GPU requirements.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-44-highlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server featuring 44 vCPUs and 352 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor. The instance is equipped with 19326 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across six drives, offering high local storage capacity without any GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show strong performance in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression, CPU encryption, and image processing, while general database operations and multi-core CPU tasks perform at average levels. Due to the lack of dedicated GPU hardware, text generation for large 70B language models is poor. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring high memory density and massive local storage, making it suitable for large databases, memory-intensive data processing, and high-throughput storage applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.2Score
    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.
