    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated eight-vCPU virtual machine featuring integrated local NVMe storage and advanced Intel matrix extensions for balanced general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-8-lssd is a general-purpose virtual machine configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 30.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor running at 2.3 GHz. The instance features a bundled 137 GB local NVMe SSD for low-latency storage, but lacks GPU acceleration. Its x86_64 architecture supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Performance benchmarks highlight top-tier capabilities in single-threaded gzip compression and text processing, alongside strong text generation speeds for small LLM models. However, uncached large-block memory read bandwidth and overall memory benchmarks represent a performance tradeoff, landing in the lower tier. This server type provides a balanced resource profile, making it qualitatively cost-effective for database operations, static web serving, software compilation, and general-purpose workloads requiring dedicated CPU resources and fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.824Score
    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.
