      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine offering dedicated Intel Xeon processing and standard memory density for multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2-standard-16 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 16 vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture with 8 physical cores and hyper-threading, it supports AVX-512 instructions but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks position this instance in the average tier for most compute and memory tasks, including a multi-core stress-ng score of 15060.78 and static web serving throughput of 12.34 GB/sec. However, it exhibits weak performance in single-threaded compression and medium-model LLM inference. Given its balanced resource allocation and qualitative cost profile, the instance is suited for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.796Score
      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.
