      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and strong single-threaded performance for memory-light workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c2d-highcpu-4 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7B13 processor. It features 4 vCPUs across 2 physical cores, 8.0 GB of system memory, and 32 MB of L3 cache, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks reveal strong single-core CPU capabilities, ranking in the top 25% in stress-ng tests, though multi-core performance and memory bandwidth scale weakly. Hardware-assisted cryptography is supported via AES and SHA instruction sets. Qualitatively, this instance provides a cost-effective entry point for compute-focused workloads with low memory requirements. It is best suited for single-threaded processing, lightweight web serving, and basic utility tasks, while its low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB makes it less optimal for memory-intensive database operations or heavy multi-threaded compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.28Score
      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.
