    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and local NVMe storage instance designed for massive database workloads and high-throughput data processing.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-88-highlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server instance designed for demanding enterprise workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 88 dedicated vCPUs and 44 physical cores, it features 704.0 GB of RAM and 38,652 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across 12 drives. The instance lacks dedicated GPUs but leverages advanced CPU instructions, including Intel AMX and AVX-512, to accelerate specialized compute tasks. Benchmark results show strong multi-core performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent database throughput, with Redis SET operations reaching 80.68 million operations per second. This hardware profile delivers qualitative cost efficiency by combining massive local storage with a high memory-to-vCPU ratio. It is highly suited for large-scale databases, in-memory data stores, and high-throughput data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.58Score
    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.
