    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance combining dedicated Intel Xeon compute with high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for I/O-intensive workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-16-lssd is a general-purpose server instance featuring 16 vCPUs and 60.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz. The hardware configuration includes 539 GB of local NVMe SSD storage across two drives, with no GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core performance, particularly in single-threaded gzip compression (36.82 GB/sec) and Geekbench single-core testing (2297.0). Multi-core operations, such as stress-ng multi-core CPU performance (18700.11) and Geekbench multi-core testing (13648.0), perform in the average tier. This instance offers a balanced resource profile, making it qualitatively cost-effective for workloads that require dedicated compute and fast local storage. It is suited for database operations, software compilation, static web serving, and text processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.82Score
    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.
