      Server Description

      A low-resource, shared-core virtual machine designed for lightweight utility tasks, basic scripting, and highly cost-efficient development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform f1-micro is an entry-level, shared-core virtual machine designed for low-resource utility workloads. It features 1 vCPU on a shared Intel Xeon physical core using the x86_64 architecture, paired with 0.6 GB of system memory. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results place the f1-micro in the bottom 10% of performance, with a stress-ng CPU score of 384.79, a Redis SET throughput of 0.24 million operations per second, and a static web serving throughput of 0.22 GB/sec. Due to its shared CPU allocation and highly constrained memory, this instance is best suited for lightweight, non-critical applications such as basic automation scripts, minor development tasks, or low-traffic static web hosting where cost efficiency is prioritized over processing power.

      Workload Profiles

      0.069Score
      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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): PassMark Memory Mark (composite).
