      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86 memory-optimized virtual machine pairing dual dedicated vCPUs on AMD EPYC processors with 16 GB of memory for memory-heavy low-thread workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform n2d-highmem-2 is a memory-optimized x86_64 instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs derived from a single physical core on AMD EPYC 7B13 processors, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM. Designed with an 8 GB memory-per-core ratio, the server provides 32 MB of L3 cache and supports AVX, AES, VAES, and SHA_NI instruction sets while omitting local SSD storage and GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution, achieving competitive stress-ng single-threaded scores and balanced text processing. Conversely, multi-threaded throughput, memory bandwidth, and compilation speed reflect the physical single-core limit. Qualitatively, n2d-highmem-2 provides cost efficiency by delivering ample RAM capacity for memory-bound tasks without forcing scale-up of compute resources. It is best suited for small in-memory caches, background queue processing, single-threaded data manipulation, and lightweight microservices requiring elevated RAM allocations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      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.
