      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced eight-vCPU virtual machine with thirty-two gigabytes of memory, optimized for standard web serving and database workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform e2-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance configured with 8 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.2 GHz, it features 4 physical cores with hyper-threading enabled. The instance does not include local storage or dedicated GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, though multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations generally align with mid-range averages. Conversely, single-threaded compression and decompression tasks exhibit lower-tier performance. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance provides a cost-effective profile for standard workloads. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, Redis deployments, and moderate database operations that do not require high-speed local storage or hardware acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      0.426Score
      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.
