      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated x86_64 compute optimized virtual machine featuring a high processor to memory ratio for processing heavy and memory constrained workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-8 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM, yielding a low 1:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio. Powered by a 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor with 4 physical cores, it supports AVX-512 and AES instructions but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the average tier for single-core processing, static web serving, and Redis operations, though it exhibits weak multi-core scaling and memory performance in synthetic tests. Qualitatively, the instance provides a resource-dense configuration for compute-heavy, low-memory workloads. It is best suited for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database tasks rather than memory-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.43Score
      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.
