      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 instance featuring sixteen dedicated Intel vCPUs and thirty-two gigabytes of RAM for compute-intensive workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated Intel vCPUs (8 physical cores) and 32.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance is designed for CPU-intensive workloads. It features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core execution, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1886.0 and strong text processing capabilities. Multi-core performance is moderate, with a Passmark CPU score of 21470.49 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 14630.37. Memory bandwidth reaches 1133.53 GB/sec for cached small blocks. This hardware profile provides a cost-efficient resource density of 2.0 GB of RAM per vCPU, making it highly suitable for software compilation, static web serving, and lightweight vector or matrix operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.18Score
      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.
