      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 instance featuring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and advanced matrix extensions for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highmem-16 is a memory-optimized instance featuring 16 vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM, providing 8.0 GB of memory per core. Powered by an Intel x86_64 processor with 8 physical cores and dedicated CPU allocation, it includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show average performance across most compute and memory tests, with strong results in text processing and lightweight LLM text generation. The instance does not include local storage or bundled GPUs, making it a cost-efficient choice for memory-heavy workloads. It is suitable for database operations, in-memory caching, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      1.16Score
      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.
