      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for memory-sensitive workloads with moderate processing requirements.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-4 is a memory-optimized instance featuring 4 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio. Powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon x86_64 processor with 2 physical cores and 2 threads per core, it includes a 33 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 instruction sets. The instance does not include local storage, GPUs, or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks place its compute capabilities and memory bandwidth largely in the bottom 25%, though it achieves average ratings in PassMark memory and single-threaded gzip compression tests. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio and modest compute performance, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads with low CPU demands, such as caching systems, lightweight database operations, and general-purpose memory-bound applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.265Score
      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.
