      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated Intel Xeon server offering strong single-core performance and balanced memory for general-purpose computing workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-4 is an x86_64 general-purpose server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 15.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. It lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks reveal strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 1916.0 and efficient single-threaded text processing. However, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, as evidenced by a multi-core Geekbench score of 4292.0 and uncached read bandwidth of 29.4 GB/sec. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for workloads requiring dedicated CPU allocation without high memory or storage demands. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, basic web serving, and single-threaded processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.508Score
      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.
