      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a lean memory profile for CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-highcpu-8 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B13 processor. With 4 physical cores and 2 threads per core, it provides a lean 2.0 GB of memory per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution, placing in the top 25%, while multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and Redis performance remain average. Conversely, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is a relative bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 25%. Given its high-compute, low-memory profile, the c2d-highcpu-8 is qualitatively cost-effective for CPU-bound tasks that do not demand high memory capacity. It is well-suited for workloads such as web serving, software compilation, and lightweight batch processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.495Score
      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.
