      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors, advanced matrix extensions, and mid-range compute performance for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-8 is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical Intel cores and 32 GB of RAM. It includes advanced CPU features like Intel AMX and AVX-512, supported by a 260 MB L3 cache. Lacking local storage and GPUs, it relies on network-attached storage. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6838 and static web serving throughput of 12.95 GB/sec. While memory bandwidth for small cached blocks is strong at 530.44 GB/sec, large-block memory operations and multi-threaded decompression show weaker performance. Qualitatively, the n4-standard-8 provides a balanced, cost-efficient resource profile for general-purpose applications. It is best suited for web serving, software compilation, database operations, and lightweight machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.717Score
      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.
