      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused x86 instance featuring four dedicated virtual cores and balanced vector instruction support for single-threaded processing workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c3d-highcpu-4 is a compute-optimized virtual server powered by an AMD EPYC 9B14 processor on x86_64 architecture. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs spanning 2 physical cores with hyperthreading and 8.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 1:2 vCPU-to-memory ratio. Hardware support includes AVX-512, AES, and SHA vector instructions, with cache allocation comprising 32 MB L3 cache. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance in the top quartile, alongside average execution times for single-threaded compression and general CPU benchmarks. Conversely, multi-core throughput, memory bandwidth, and database transaction rates fall into the bottom quartile due to low memory density and limited memory bus transfer speeds. The instance offers resource efficiency for compute-heavy, low-memory execution paths without bundled local disk or GPU accelerators. It is suitable for batch processing, basic text processing, utility scripts, and single-threaded compute workloads.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.3Score
      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.
