      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated high-memory virtual server featuring an eight-to-one RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-intensive enterprise applications and database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-16 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM, establishing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz across 8 physical cores, the instance includes AVX-512 support but lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark data places its multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently in the average tier, while single-core performance is relatively weak. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that do not require local NVMe storage. It is well-suited for database hosting, caching layers, enterprise applications, and memory-intensive data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.806Score
      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.
