      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine offering sixteen virtual cores and sixty gigabytes of memory for multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-16 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 16 vCPUs and 60.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.3 GHz. It utilizes 8 physical cores with hyper-threading enabled, providing a dedicated CPU allocation. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data reveals a significant contrast between single-core and multi-core performance: single-threaded operations, such as gzip compression and Geekbench single-core tests, rank in the lower percentiles, whereas multi-threaded operations, software compilation, and database operations achieve average performance tiers. Memory bandwidth remains stable and average across both read and write tests. This instance is best suited for parallelizable, general-purpose workloads such as static web serving, multi-threaded software compilation, and moderate database operations where high single-core speed is not a primary requirement.

      Workload Profiles

      0.619Score
      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.
