    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, 16 GB RAM, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for core workloads.

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-4-lssd is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 vCPUs powered by 2 physical Intel Xeon 8481C cores running at 2.7 GHz. Operating on x86_64 architecture, the system includes 105 MB of L3 cache, Intel AVX-512, and AMX instruction support. Memory capacity is provisioned at 16.0 GB RAM alongside a bundled 402 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark testing indicates average single-core CPU throughput and strong static web serving capacity of 6.5 GB/sec, while multi-threaded compute and uncached memory bandwidth fall into lower performance tiers. The configuration offers qualitative resource balance for local storage-dependent, moderate-concurrency application profiles including web servers, caching nodes, and lightweight databases.

    Workload Profiles

    0.39Score
    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.
