      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A resource-dense x86 compute instance with 16 vCPUs and 16 GB memory, optimized for cost-effective multi-threaded workloads and caching.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-16 is a compute-oriented instance engineered for cost-effective multi-threaded processing. Equipped with 16 vCPUs across 8 physical Intel Xeon x86_64 cores operating at 2.2 GHz, the instance provides dedicated CPU allocation alongside 16.0 GB of RAM. It lacks local SSD storage and dedicated GPUs. Benchmark evaluations show strong single-core stress-ng performance alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics across Geekbench, PassMark, and Redis tests. Single-threaded text decompression and file compression perform in lower percentiles. With a lean 1.0 GB RAM per vCPU ratio, the e2-highcpu-16 provides a resource-dense CPU layout for budget-sensitive parallel workloads. It is well suited for concurrent web serving, build compilation, caching layers, and lightweight containerized services that do not require high memory overhead or local ephemeral storage.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.68Score
      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.
