      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-memory compute instance providing 16 GB RAM across two dedicated vCPUs for memory-bound, single-core processing tasks.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-highmem-2 is a memory-optimized server powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7B13 processor with 2 vCPUs across 1 physical core and 16.0 GB of RAM. The instance provides dedicated CPU allocation, 32 MB of L3 cache, and a high 8.0 GB RAM per vCPU ratio, while lacking bundled local storage and GPU hardware. Benchmarks highlight strong single-core CPU execution, paired with average text generation and decompression rates. Conversely, multi-threaded performance, uncached memory bandwidth, and database transaction throughput fall into lower tiers due to the single physical core footprint. This server offers cost-effective memory density for workloads requiring significant RAM with modest parallel processing demands, making it well fitted for lightweight caching layers, single-threaded batch processing, and memory-bound background tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.18Score
      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.
