CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and AVX-512 support for high-throughput CPU-bound workloads.
Google Cloud Platform c2-standard-8 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated 3.1 GHz Intel Xeon processor with x86_64 architecture. It provides 4 physical cores with hyper-threading, a 24 MB L3 cache, and support for AVX-512 instructions. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show average performance across most workloads, including a stress-ng multi-core score of 8306.94, a Redis SET throughput of 8.05 million operations per second, and a static web serving speed of 7.07 GB/sec. However, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is a relative weak point. This instance is designed for compute-intensive workloads such as software compilation, database operations, and web serving where dedicated CPU performance is required without the overhead of local storage.
