Benchmarks: Google Cloud's New C4D VMs Deliver Remarkable Performance With AMD EPYC Turin
👁 NAMD benchmark with settings of Input: ATPase with 327,506 Atoms. c4d-standard-64 was the fastest.
For HPC workloads especially, going from C3D to C4D can yield some huge uplifts as shown by these benchmarks. Even accounting for the 2 or 4 vCPU increase with the associates sizes, there is terrific generational uplift out of Google C4D instances. With HPC workloads the faster DDR5 memory as well as full 512-bit data path for AVX-512 are especially beneficial.
👁 NAMD benchmark with settings of Input: STMV with 1,066,628 Atoms. c4d-standard-64 was the fastest.
In some cases like NAMD the 32 vCPU C4D instance matched the performance of the 60 vCPU C3D instance.
Excellent generational uplift thanks to AMD EPYC Turin with these Google C4D instances.
