      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level compute instance offering strong single-core CPU performance balanced with basic memory capacity for single-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-standard-2 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B13 processor. It allocates 1 physical core with 2 threads and 32 MB of L3 cache, without bundled local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks show a strong single-core CPU rating, but weak multi-core scaling and poor memory bandwidth. Single-threaded tasks like gzip compression and text processing perform at average levels, whereas database operations, software compilation, and Redis throughput are significantly constrained. This instance is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and entry-level compute tasks that do not require high memory throughput or parallel processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.167Score
      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.
