      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated compute-optimized instance featuring advanced Intel Xeon matrix extensions for high-performance single-core and text processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. With 8 physical cores and a 260 MB L3 cache, this instance is designed for CPU-intensive tasks. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core execution and text processing, alongside strong single-threaded compression capabilities. The processor supports advanced vector and matrix extensions (AVX-512 and AMX), making it highly capable for mathematical and machine learning inference workloads. With a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, it offers a cost-effective profile for compute-heavy, memory-light applications such as text processing, software compilation, and web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.59Score
      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.
