      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine with a high memory-to-core ratio, built for database operations and memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-highmem-8 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 8 vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM, providing a high 8 GB of memory per core. Powered by an Intel processor with 4 physical cores and 2 threads per core, it includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. The instance does not include local storage or bundled GPUs. Benchmark results indicate average performance across most compute and memory tests, with a strong showing in text processing and a Redis SET throughput of 9.89 million operations per second. However, it exhibits poor performance on medium-sized LLM text generation. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads, making it highly suitable for database operations, in-memory caching, and general-purpose enterprise applications requiring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio.

      Workload Profiles

      0.75Score
      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.
