      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors and a standard four-gigabytes-per-vCPU memory configuration.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-16 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated Intel x86_64 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 64 GB of RAM. Lacking bundled local storage and GPUs, this instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. Performance benchmarks place the server in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 11352.0 and a static web serving throughput of 22.14 GB/sec. It demonstrates strong capabilities in small-model LLM text generation at 282.68 tokens/sec, alongside a Passmark database score of 7748.52. The n4-standard-16 is qualitatively cost-effective for standard workloads that do not require high-speed local NVMe drives or hardware acceleration. It is well-suited for general-purpose applications, software compilation, web serving, and moderate database operations.

      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.
