      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, compute-skewed virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a compact memory footprint for lightweight processing.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-4 is an x86_64 virtual machine configured with 4 vCPUs and 4.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B12 processor. Featuring a dedicated CPU allocation with 2 physical cores and 2 threads per core, this instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks position the server primarily in the lower tiers, with weak single-core and multi-core CPU scores, alongside poor small-block memory bandwidth. However, it achieves average-tier results in large-block memory operations, single-threaded gzip compression, and text processing. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 1.0 GB per core, the e2-highcpu-4 is a budget-friendly option designed for lightweight, CPU-focused workloads such as basic web serving, software compilation, and simple batch processing tasks that do not require substantial memory resources.

      Workload Profiles

      0.215Score
      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.
