      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-dense x86_64 server featuring sixteen dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for efficient processing of compute-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 16 dedicated Intel vCPUs (8 physical cores) and 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 2.0 GB per vCPU ratio. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, it relies on network storage. The processor features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. In benchmarks, it achieves a Geekbench multi-core score of 11411.0, a stress-ng multi-core score of 14630.37, and processes Redis SET operations at 17.79 million operations per second. It also handles small-model LLM prompt processing at 1272.6 tokens per second. This instance is designed for compute-bound tasks, including software compilation, static web serving, and lightweight AI inference, offering a resource-dense profile that minimizes memory overhead costs.

      Workload Profiles

      1.2Score
      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.
