      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-allocated virtual machine designed for lightweight databases and caching workloads requiring low compute overhead.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-highmem-2 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the N1 family, configured with 2 vCPUs and 13.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz, it allocates 6.5 GB of memory per vCPU but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results indicate a legacy performance profile, with stress-ng single-core and multi-core metrics falling into the weak and poor categories respectively. Uncached memory read bandwidth is measured at 13.32 GB/sec. This instance provides a qualitative balance for memory-dependent workloads with low CPU requirements, making it suitable for small databases, caching layers, and basic web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.12Score
      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.
