CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A high-vCPU, low-memory compute instance designed for parallelized, multi-threaded workloads that do not require extensive memory or local storage.
Google Cloud Platform n1-highcpu-32 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 29.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz across 16 physical cores, this instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results indicate a significant performance divergence: single-core metrics, such as Geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression, rank in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively, while multi-core operations, including software compilation, ray tracing, and PassMark CPU tests, consistently perform in the average tier. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 0.9 GB per core, this instance offers a cost-efficient profile for parallelized workloads that are not memory-intensive. It is suited for multi-threaded tasks such as software compilation, static web serving, and parallel data processing.
