      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level x86_64 compute configuration providing dual vCPUs and 2 GB memory for lightweight background tasks and basic web serving.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-2 is a budget-focused compute-oriented instance powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon x86_64 processor. Configured with 2 vCPUs across 1 physical core with multithreading, it delivers 2.0 GB of RAM (1.0 GB per vCPU) with no attached local storage or GPU hardware. In benchmark testing, the server demonstrates entry-level performance, achieving a PassMark CPU score of 1664.25, a Geekbench multi-core score of 1073.0, and static web serving throughput of 1.39 GB/sec. Memory read and write bandwidths reach 13.03 GB/sec and 11.11 GB/sec respectively. Given its tight 2.0 GB RAM overhead and moderate processing ceiling, e2-highcpu-2 provides a cost-effective environment for low-concurrency web hosting, lightweight background microservices, basic utility automation, and early-stage software testing workloads where resource demands remain low.

      Workload Profiles

      0.11Score
      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.
