      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level, memory-skewed virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors for lightweight caching and database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-highmem-2 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine instance configured with 2 dedicated 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. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark evaluations place its performance in the lower percentiles, with a single-core Geekbench score of 944.0 and a multi-core score of 1124.0. Large-block memory read bandwidth is measured at 13.32 GB/sec. Due to these performance characteristics, the n1-highmem-2 is best suited for memory-sensitive but compute-light workloads, such as small database hosting, caching layers, and basic web serving, offering a qualitative balance of memory capacity for entry-level workloads.

      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.
