      Server Description

      A low-cost, shared-core x86 instance offering 1 vCPU and 0.6 GB RAM for lightweight administrative and monitoring tasks.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform f1-micro is a shared-core virtual instance designed for lightweight operational tasks. Built on x86_64 Intel Xeon hardware, it provides 1 vCPU with a shared physical core and 0.6 GB of memory. The CPU architecture supports AVX, AVX-512F, AES, and FMA instruction sets. Featuring no attached local storage, the instance exhibits low synthetic benchmark scores across CPU, memory write, and web serving tests, consistently ranking in the lower 10th percentile. Memory write bandwidth registers at 0.2 GB/sec, and static web throughput reaches 0.22 GB/sec. Due to its minimal resource footprint and burstable compute profile, f1-micro provides cost-effective utility for low-traffic services, basic health monitoring, lightweight microservices, and simple background jobs where memory usage remains below 0.6 GB.

      Workload Profiles

      0.07Score
      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).
