      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server delivering exceptional single-core performance and advanced matrix extensions for specialized, CPU-intensive workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4n-highcpu-4 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, focusing its resource profile entirely on compute density with a 2.0 GB per vCPU memory ratio. Benchmark data reveals exceptional single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2228.0 and strong single-threaded compression performance. Conversely, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, as evidenced by a 32.55 GB/sec uncached read speed. Equipped with Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets, this server is highly efficient for compute-bound, single-threaded tasks, lightweight web serving, and basic vector math operations where memory capacity is not a bottleneck.

      Workload Profiles

      0.491Score
      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.
