    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered instance featuring dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores and high-speed local NVMe storage for I/O-intensive general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-16-lssd is an ARM-based instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on the ARMv8 Neoverse-V2 architecture clocked at 3.0 GHz. It is equipped with 64 GB of RAM and 1608 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, with no complimentary public IPv4 addresses. The instance delivers top-tier memory performance in PassMark benchmarks and strong results in large-block memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving. Compute benchmarks show strong single-core and multi-core Geekbench scores, alongside average multi-core stress-ng performance. Lacking hyperthreading and x86-specific vector extensions, this instance offers a resource-dense profile for ARM-native applications. It is highly suited for local I/O-heavy workloads, database hosting, static web serving, and software compilation tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.6Score
    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.
