      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      High-density memory virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC vCPUs, designed for memory-intensive cloud application workloads and caching layers.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-highmem-8 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 7B12 CPU. Configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores and 64 GB of RAM, it maintains a 1:8 vCPU-to-memory ratio. It lacks attached local storage and GPUs. Benchmark results demonstrate strong single-core CPU performance alongside average multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database transaction capacity. Performance drops in specialized multi-threaded decompression and instruction set tests. The instance offers resource density for memory-intensive applications that require balanced compute overhead. Ideal workloads include in-memory databases, Redis caches, web servers with large memory footprints, and data processing jobs.

      Workload Profiles

      0.43Score
      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.
