      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon processors for lightweight workloads, development environments, and basic web serving.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-4 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 4 vCPUs and 15 GB of RAM, powered by an x86_64 Intel Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz. Built with 2 physical cores and hyper-threading, this instance provides a dedicated CPU allocation but includes no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark evaluations place its performance in the lower tiers, with stress-ng CPU and Passmark memory scores falling into the bottom 25%. It achieves a static web serving throughput of 2.46 GB/sec and processes 2.68 million Redis SET operations per second. Given these performance characteristics, the n1-standard-4 is best suited for lightweight workloads, development environments, basic web serving, and small-scale database operations where high-performance compute is not a primary requirement.

      Workload Profiles

      0.199Score
      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.
