      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel cores and advanced matrix extensions for efficient parallel processing.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highcpu-8 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 8 dedicated Intel vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance relies on its Intel processor, which includes AVX-512 and AMX extensions, backed by a 260 MB L3 cache. Performance benchmarks place it in the average tier, with a Passmark CPU score of 12045.57 and a multi-core Geekbench score of 7215.0. While memory performance is relatively weak, with a Passmark memory score of 1718.22, it handles Redis SET operations at 8.82 million operations per second and static web serving at 11.89 GB/sec. This configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, memory-light workloads such as software compilation, web serving, and basic vector processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.675Score
      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.
