      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, compute-focused virtual machine with dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a lean memory profile for lightweight processing tasks.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-4 is an x86_64 compute-focused virtual machine featuring 4 vCPUs and 4.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B12 processor with 2 physical cores. This instance does not include bundled local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place the server primarily in the lower tiers, with weak single-core and multi-core CPU scores, and poor overall memory performance. However, it maintains average throughput for large-block uncached memory transfers and single-threaded compression tasks. Given its low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 1.0 GB per core, the e2-highcpu-4 represents a resource-dense, cost-efficient option for lightweight compute workloads, basic text processing, and small-scale web serving where memory demands are minimal.

      Workload Profiles

      0.21Score
      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.
