      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      Entry-level general-purpose instance providing one dedicated vCPU and four gigabytes of memory for lightweight workloads and basic microservices.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-1 is a general-purpose virtual machine offering 1 dedicated vCPU and 4.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an x86_64 Intel Xeon processor at 2.3 GHz, it features 45 MB of L3 cache with hardware support for AVX, AES, BMI2, and FMA instructions. The instance provides no bundled local storage and no GPU acceleration. Benchmarks indicate entry-level performance, with single-core and multi-core stress-ng scores of 1088.79, uncached memory read bandwidth of 10.68 GB/sec, and static web serving throughput of 1.21 GB/sec. Additionally, Redis SET throughput reaches 1.29 million operations per second. While constrained by single-threaded performance bounds and lack of AVX-512, the server offers low resource overhead. The n1-standard-1 is suited for lightweight workloads such as low-traffic web applications, microservices, small background tasks, and development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.097Score
      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.
