      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, top-tier single-core performance, and a highly compact memory footprint.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4d-highcpu-2 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 2 vCPUs and 3.0 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9B45 processor. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The instance demonstrates strong single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression benchmarks ranking in the top 10%. Conversely, its multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are limited, with Passmark memory scores in the bottom 10%. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-efficient option for workloads that prioritize single-threaded CPU speed over memory capacity or parallel processing. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, single-threaded utility scripts, and basic background processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.357Score
      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.
