    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated low-latency NVMe SSD storage for database and text processing workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-16-lssd is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, 60.0 GB of RAM, and 539 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating at 2.3 GHz with a 504 MB L3 cache, this instance delivers top-tier single-core performance, particularly in text processing and single-threaded compression benchmarks. Multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database performance metrics align with mid-tier averages, including a Redis SET throughput of 34.1 million operations per second. The balanced vCPU-to-RAM ratio of 3.75 GB per core, combined with low-latency local storage, makes this instance qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring fast local disk access without extreme memory demands. It is suited for database hosting, software compilation, static web serving, and text processing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.8Score
    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.
