      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized instance delivering exceptional single-threaded performance and dedicated AMD EPYC processing for memory-light, CPU-focused workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4d-highcpu-2 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 2 vCPUs and 3 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9B45 processor on the x86_64 architecture. This instance provides a single physical core with two threads and dedicated CPU allocation, but lacks local storage and GPU resources. Performance benchmarks highlight exceptional single-core capabilities, with top-tier results in single-threaded stress-ng, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression. Conversely, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are limited, with Passmark memory scores falling into the lowest decile. This resource profile makes the instance highly cost-efficient for workloads that demand strong single-threaded CPU performance but have minimal memory requirements. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, single-threaded utility scripts, and basic background processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.35Score
      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.
