      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused x86_64 instance offering high vCPU density and strong single-core performance for memory-light, CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highcpu-8 is an x86_64 compute-focused instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7B12 processor with 4 physical cores. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU execution, placing in the top 25% in stress-ng tests, while multi-core performance and memory operations generally fall into average or weak categories, such as a weak PassMark memory score. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 1.0 GB per core, this instance provides a cost-efficient profile for compute-heavy, memory-light workloads. It is suited for web serving, software compilation, and text processing, but is limited for memory-intensive database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.4Score
      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.
