      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated AMD EPYC virtual machine delivering strong single-core compute performance for balanced, entry-level general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c3d-standard-4 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 4 vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9B14 processor on the x86_64 architecture. It provides 2 dedicated physical cores with hyper-threading, a 32 MB L3 cache, and lacks local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks reveal strong single-core CPU performance, placing in the top 25 percent for single-core stress tests, though multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are relatively weak. This instance is best suited for workloads prioritizing single-threaded execution, such as text processing, lightweight web serving, and small-scale language model inference. It is less optimal for database operations or multi-threaded software compilation due to memory bandwidth limitations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.32Score
      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.
