      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused x86_64 server featuring sixteen dedicated vCPUs and a lean memory profile for efficient parallel processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-focused server featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance is designed for compute-heavy tasks that do not demand large memory capacities. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard CPU and memory tests, including Geekbench and PassMark, though it exhibits weaker performance in bzip3 decompression tasks. The server's hardware profile makes it a qualitatively cost-efficient option for compute-bound workloads like software compilation, static web serving, and lightweight parallel processing, while its low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 1.0 GB per core represents a clear tradeoff for memory-intensive database applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.78Score
      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.
