      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, high-speed single-threaded decompression, and hardware-accelerated matrix operations for efficient batch processing.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4n-highcpu-8 is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C x86_64 processor. It provides 4 physical cores with hyper-threading, a 2.3 GHz clock speed, and a 260 MB L3 cache. Lacking local storage and GPUs, the instance relies on network-attached resources. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-threaded bzip3 decompression at 15.23 GB/sec and strong single-threaded gzip compression at 34.94 GB/sec. It also handles small-model LLM text generation efficiently at 348.78 tokens/sec, though larger models show a performance drop. The 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio delivers qualitative cost efficiency for compute-intensive tasks. This instance is suited for web serving, data compression, and lightweight inference workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.915Score
      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.
