      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated vCPUs, sixty-four gigabytes of memory, and advanced Intel matrix acceleration.

      General Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-16 is an x86_64 general-purpose server instance configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel processor with 8 physical cores and hyper-threading, it features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. The instance does not include bundled local storage or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks generally fall within 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 performance in small-model LLM text generation at 282.68 tokens/sec. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads, making it suitable for general-purpose applications, software compilation, web serving, and moderate database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      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.
