    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage instance featuring eighty-eight vCPUs, seven hundred gigabytes of RAM, and nineteen terabytes of local NVMe SSDs.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform z3-highmem-88-standardlssd is a memory-optimized and storage-intensive server designed for demanding enterprise workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8481C processor with 88 vCPUs and 44 physical cores, it delivers 704 GB of RAM alongside 19326 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The architecture supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX, enabling strong multi-core execution and high-speed matrix operations. Benchmark results place its multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations in the top 25% tier, while image processing reaches the top 10%. Although single-core performance is average, the massive memory capacity and high-speed local storage make this instance highly efficient for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data analytics.

    Workload Profiles

    3.65Score
    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.
