    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for disk-intensive workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-8-lssd is an x86_64 general-purpose server powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores), 30.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 137 GB local NVMe SSD. The processor operates at 2.3 GHz with a 504 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show strong performance in single-threaded gzip compression and text processing, alongside average multi-core compute capabilities. However, large-block uncached memory read bandwidth is a relative bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 25%. The inclusion of local NVMe SSD storage enhances its qualitative cost efficiency for disk-intensive tasks. This instance is optimized for general-purpose workloads, web serving, software compilation, and database operations requiring fast local scratch space.

    Workload Profiles

    0.82Score
    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.
