      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced x86_64 compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and strong single-core performance for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      The Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-16 is an x86_64 virtual machine instance configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 60.0 GB of RAM, utilizing the Intel Xeon 8581C processor. Operating at 2.3 GHz with 8 physical cores and hyper-threading, it delivers balanced compute and memory resources. Benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2269.0 and strong single-threaded compression speeds. The instance lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators, making it a highly customizable option for workloads where storage is decoupled. It is suited for general-purpose applications, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.53Score
      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.
