      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level dedicated AMD EPYC instance delivering strong single-core performance for lightweight, single-threaded computing workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c2d-standard-2 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance configured with 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM. It runs on a dedicated AMD EPYC 7B13 processor with an x86_64 architecture, providing 1 physical core and 2 threads. The instance does not include local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks reveal a strong single-core CPU capability, ranking in the top 25% for stress-ng single-core tests. However, it exhibits significant performance tradeoffs, including weak multi-core scaling and poor memory bandwidth, with both cached read-only memory bandwidth and passmark database operations falling into the bottom 10%. Given these characteristics, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, single-threaded workloads. It is best suited for basic web serving, text processing, and small-scale development tasks that do not require intensive memory throughput or parallel processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.165Score
      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.
