      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-allocated virtual server delivering balanced multi-core performance and high memory capacity for database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-highmem-16 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 104 GB of RAM, powered by a 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon processor. It lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks reveal a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression tasks perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% to 25%, while multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database performance consistently reach average middle-50% thresholds. This resource distribution makes the instance qualitatively cost-effective for memory-bound applications that benefit from a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio without requiring high single-threaded compute power. It is best suited for database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and moderate multi-threaded workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.62Score
      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.
