      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU instance delivering strong single-core processing for lightweight, single-threaded workloads and basic development tasks.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n2d-standard-2 is a general-purpose instance featuring 2 vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7B13 processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 1 physical core with 2 threads and a 32 MB L3 cache, but lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks reveal a significant contrast: the instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance in stress-ng tests, yet exhibits weak multi-core scaling and poor memory bandwidth, with cached read bandwidth limited to 126.7 GB/sec. Given these hardware constraints and benchmark results, the instance represents a cost-effective option for basic, single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for lightweight workloads such as basic text processing, single-threaded compression, and small-scale development environments rather than memory-intensive database operations or parallelized computing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.53Score
      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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET).
