      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced 64-vCPU general-purpose instance delivering strong memory bandwidth and database performance for parallel enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n2-standard-64 is an x86_64 general-purpose server configured with 64 vCPUs and 256.0 GB of dedicated RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz, this instance features a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and lacks bundled local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong capabilities in uncached memory bandwidth, software compilation, and database operations, while standard CPU and cryptographic tasks perform in the average tier. Conversely, text generation for large 70B LLM models is a notable bottleneck. Qualitatively, the instance provides a cost-effective, high-density resource profile for parallel processing workloads. It is highly suited for database operations, multi-threaded software compilation, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      2.3Score
      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.
