      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-CPU ratio and strong single-core performance for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highmem-16 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine featuring 16 vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM, providing a memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. Powered by an AMD EPYC 7B12 processor with 8 physical cores and dedicated CPU allocation, this instance lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, placing in the top 25% of tested systems, while multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently rank in the average tier. The instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads such as Redis caching, software compilation, and moderate database operations that benefit from a high memory footprint but do not require local NVMe storage or specialized hardware accelerators.

      Workload Profiles

      0.763Score
      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.
