n4a-highcpu-16 by Google Cloud Platform

A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated vCPUs and thirty-two gigabytes of RAM for processing-heavy workloads.

Google Cloud Platform n4a-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine within the n4a server family, configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM. This resource allocation provides a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, offering 2.0 GB of memory per core. The instance does not include local storage, integrated GPUs, or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Designed as a compute-optimized resource, it delivers dedicated processing power for workloads that prioritize CPU capacity over memory density. This profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for processing-heavy tasks that do not require massive memory arrays or local disk storage. It is suitable for workloads such as web serving, CI/CD pipelines, and general compute-bound applications.
