      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose server configuration offering eight virtual CPUs and thirty gigabytes of system memory for standard cloud workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by an x86_64 Intel Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz. Configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores and 30.0 GB of system RAM, it provides 3.75 GB of memory per vCPU alongside 45 MB of L3 cache. The instance contains no bundled local storage or GPU accelerators, relying on attached persistent disks. Instruction set support includes standard AVX, AES, and FMA flags. In benchmark testing, the server achieves average uncached memory read bandwidth of 45.37 GB/sec, 5.27 million Redis SET operations per second, and 4.56 GB/sec static web serving throughput. Overall CPU multi-core and single-core benchmark scores reflect legacy-tier performance characteristics. This server fits light web serving, general microservices, database testing, and standard internal backend processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.35Score
      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.
