      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-bound workloads requiring moderate compute capabilities.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It contains 2 physical cores with hyper-threading and a 33 MB L3 cache, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show that the instance generally ranks in the bottom 25% for multi-core compute, database operations, and memory bandwidth, though it achieves average results in single-threaded gzip compression and single-core Geekbench tests. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that require a larger memory footprint without demanding high CPU throughput. It is suitable for small database deployments, caching layers, and basic memory-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.267Score
      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.
