      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An efficient virtual machine providing sixteen virtual processors and sixteen gigabytes of memory for compute intensive tasks without high memory requirements.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-focused instance featuring 16 vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.2 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1.0 GB per vCPU ratio, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance, though multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations align with mid-tier averages. Conversely, single-threaded compression and text processing benchmarks are weak. The platform supports Advanced Vector Extensions and AES cryptography, but lacks advanced matrix extensions or local NVMe storage. This resource configuration is highly cost-efficient for CPU-bound workloads that do not demand extensive memory, making it suitable for software compilation, static web serving, and multi-threaded processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.681Score
      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.
