      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dual-vCPU virtual machine with 8 GB RAM delivering strong single-threaded CPU performance for lightweight entry-level computing tasks.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-standard-2 is a virtual server instance powered by an AMD EPYC 7B13 processor built on x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 2 dedicated vCPUs from 1 physical core, 2.0 threads per core, and 8.0 GB of memory, equating to 4.0 GB of RAM per vCPU. The instance includes 32 MB of L3 cache but contains no local NVMe storage and no discrete GPUs. In performance benchmarks, the c2d-standard-2 demonstrates strong single-core CPU performance in stress-ng tests and average results for single-threaded compression and text generation. However, multi-core processing scores, memory bandwidth, and database transaction rates fall in lower performance percentiles due to hardware resource constraints. This server configuration offers a cost-efficient entry point within the compute-optimized family, making it suitable for lightweight web applications, basic utility tasks, and developer environments requiring stable single-thread core execution.

      Workload Profiles

      0.17Score
      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.
