      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated eight-vCPU virtual machine featuring advanced Intel matrix extensions, strong single-core execution, and balanced memory allocation for general compute workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-8 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 30 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but features advanced CPU instructions including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. In benchmark testing, it demonstrates strong single-core capabilities, with single-threaded gzip compression and Geekbench single-core scores placing in the top 25%, and text processing in the top 10%. Multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations fall within the average range. However, resource-intensive tasks like medium-sized LLM text generation show weaker performance. This instance is suited for workloads such as software compilation, text processing, and general-purpose web serving where dedicated CPU resources are required without the need for local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.96Score
      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.
