      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and balanced memory for general-purpose compute and database workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform c4n-standard-8 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 30.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. It contains 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 260 MB L3 cache, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the average tier for general compute, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 8882.75 and a Passmark CPU score of 15872.98. However, it demonstrates strong single-threaded compression capabilities, with gzip compression at 35.04 GB/sec and bzip3 decompression at 15.25 GB/sec. It also achieves top-tier text generation speeds of 352.64 tokens/sec on small LLM models. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads, making it suitable for static web serving, database operations, and general-purpose applications requiring advanced vector and matrix extensions.

      Workload Profiles

      0.91Score
      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.
