      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel processors and advanced matrix extensions for entry-level workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-4 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance configured with 4 vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core. Powered by an Intel x86_64 processor with 2 physical cores and 2 threads per core, it features a dedicated CPU allocation and a 260 MB L3 cache. The hardware supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX for matrix operations, though it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark data shows average single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1807.0, but weaker multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. This instance is best suited for lightweight workloads such as static web serving, basic text processing, and single-threaded applications, offering a cost-efficient entry point for general-purpose computing where high-throughput multi-threading and local storage are not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.394Score
      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.
