      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core count, general-purpose instance delivering strong multi-threaded performance and high memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform n2-standard-128 is an x86_64 general-purpose instance configured with 128 vCPUs, 64 physical Intel Xeon cores, and 512 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance relies on its dedicated CPU allocation and high memory bandwidth, which reaches 309.76 GB/sec for large-block reads. Benchmark data shows strong multi-core CPU performance, placing in the top 25% for stress-ng and Geekbench multi-core tests, alongside top-tier cryptographic execution. It is highly capable for database operations, software compilation, and static web serving. However, the absence of a GPU limits its efficiency for large-scale LLM text generation, where it performs in the bottom 25%. This makes the instance best suited for enterprise-grade databases, parallel computing, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      4.4Score
      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.
