      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused server with thirty-two dedicated virtual cores, optimized for parallel processing and multi-threaded workloads without high memory overhead.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-32 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1.0 GB per vCPU ratio, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. While single-core benchmarks place this server in the bottom 25 percent, its multi-core scaling is average, positioning it in the middle 50 percent for multi-threaded tasks, software compilation, and static web serving. It also displays strong performance in text generation for small language models. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for parallel processing tasks that do not require high memory density, making it suitable for workloads like software compilation, ray tracing, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      1.35Score
      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.
