    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage instance featuring eighty-eight dedicated vCPUs and over thirty-eight terabytes of local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-88-highlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server instance designed for demanding enterprise workloads. It features 88 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8481C x86_64 processor, 704.0 GB of RAM, and 38,652 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 12 drives. Benchmark results show strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent database operations, including 80.68 million Redis SET operations per second. While single-core performance is average, its multi-threaded capabilities and massive local storage make it highly resource-dense. This instance is best suited for large-scale databases, in-memory data analytics, and high-throughput data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    3.5Score
    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.
