      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon vCPUs and moderate memory density for standard business applications and workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-4 is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon processor at 2.3 GHz, split across 2 physical cores, and paired with 15.0 GB of memory. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, the server includes 45 MB of L3 cache, AVX vector extensions, and AES acceleration, but lacks local SSD storage and integrated GPUs. Benchmark evaluations show single-core and multi-core CPU performance in the bottom 25% with stress-ng scores of 1107.78 and 2904.55. Memory bandwidth reads max out at 25.29 GB/sec for large blocks, while static web serving throughput reaches 2.46 GB/sec and Redis SET operations process 2.68 million requests per second. Given its resource profile and baseline processing capabilities, the instance is suited for routine general-purpose tasks, low-traffic web applications, and basic database operations that do not require intense memory bandwidth or heavy CPU execution.

      Workload Profiles

      0.2Score
      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.
