    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and massive bundled local NVMe SSD storage for data-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-44-standardlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-focused server instance designed for data-intensive workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor on the x86_64 architecture, it features 44 dedicated vCPUs (22 physical cores) and 352 GB of RAM, yielding 8 GB of memory per core. The instance includes 9663 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across three bundled drives. Benchmark data indicates strong performance in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression, CPU encryption, and image processing, alongside strong prompt processing for small and medium LLM models via Intel AMX. However, text generation for large 70B models is limited due to the absence of a GPU. This instance is highly suited for memory-intensive databases, data processing pipelines, and cryptographic applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.3Score
    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.
