Decrease Price of Intel Spark SQL Workloads On Google Cloud

Businesses are trying to take advantage of the abundance of data coming in from gadgets, consumers, websites, and more as artificial intelligence (AI) takes over the news

For your Spark SQL applications, instances with the newest 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are the logical option since they can provide up to 1.38 times the performance per dollar

For Spark SQL workloads, Google Cloud instances with the newest Intel processors may provide the highest performance and value when compared to instances with AMD processors or older Intel instances

It can now evaluate the N-series instances with AMD processors after comparing them to previous instances that use 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs

The performance statistics to collected and compared the different instance kinds and families it evaluated are examined in this part

Because Spark SQL requires a lot of memory, it chose to test on general-purpose “highmem” Google Cloud instances. But it wasn’t the end of our decision-making process
