      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine offering a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for cost-conscious, memory-intensive workloads without heavy compute demands.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highmem-4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM on an x86_64 Intel Xeon processor. Operating at 2.2 GHz with 2 physical cores and hyper-threading, this instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks position its compute capabilities in the lower tiers, with stress-ng and Geekbench scores falling in the bottom 10% to 25%. However, its memory subsystem achieves average-tier performance, highlighted by a PassMark memory score of 1969.62. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, this instance offers a cost-efficient profile for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads. It is best suited for caching systems, small database operations, and basic text processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.201Score
      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.
