      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      Compute-optimized virtual server with 8 AMD EPYC vCPUs and 16 GB RAM, designed for high CPU-to-memory ratio workload execution.

      Compute Optimized

      The Google Cloud Platform c3d-highcpu-8 is a compute-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9B14 processor utilizing the x86_64 architecture. Configured with 8 vCPUs across 4 physical cores and 16.0 GB of RAM, it maintains a strict 1:2 memory-to-vCPU ratio. Hardware capabilities feature AVX-512 extensions, SHA_NI, and VAES vector cryptography, supported by 32 MB of L3 cache. Benchmark profiles highlight strong single-core execution speed and text processing, while overall multi-core performance, web serving throughput, and database operations rank in the average tier. Uncached memory bandwidth represents a key limitation, testing in the lower percentiles for large data transfers. Lacking local storage and GPUs, c3d-highcpu-8 provides cost-efficient CPU resource density tailored for compute-heavy workloads such as software compilation, static web serving, text parsing, and microservices that do not rely on high memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.52Score
      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.
