      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual machine offering high memory density and balanced multi-core performance for memory-bound databases and caching applications.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-highmem-8 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz. With 4 physical cores and hyper-threading, it delivers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. The instance lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core CPU capabilities and solid memory bandwidth, with uncached large block read speeds at 52.02 GB/sec and Redis SET operations reaching 7.13 million per second. However, single-core processing and complex tasks like ray tracing or LLM inference are weak. This configuration is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads such as database management, caching, and web serving, rather than compute-heavy or AI-driven applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.475Score
      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.
