      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A general-purpose instance delivering eight vCPUs, thirty-two gigabytes of system memory, and hardware acceleration for vector and matrix operations.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-8 is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 vCPUs across 4 physical Intel x86_64 cores, 32 GB of system RAM, and no integrated local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating on dedicated CPU hardware, it features 260 MB of L3 cache and supports specialized vector and matrix instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Synthetic benchmarks place the instance within average ranges for single-core and multi-core computing, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 6838.0 and a Redis throughput of 9.71 million SET operations per second. Hardware tradeoffs include lower relative memory bandwidth efficiency, as evidenced by a PassMark memory score in the bottom quartile, along with limited speed during 7B parameter LLM text generation. Overall, the server offers efficient balanced resources for general-purpose web serving, containerized application microservices, software compilation, and standard database instances relying on attached network block storage.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.72Score
      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.
