      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 OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highmem-8 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 8 vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM, driven by an AMD EPYC 7B12 x86_64 processor. The hardware configuration includes 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and dedicated CPU allocation, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The processor supports AVX, AES, and SHA_NI instructions, enabling efficient cryptographic and integer operations. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth results, though multi-threaded decompression remains a relative bottleneck. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core, this instance provides a cost-efficient profile for memory-intensive workloads. It is well-suited for database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and general-purpose applications requiring a larger memory footprint.

      Workload Profiles

      0.436Score
      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.
