n4d-highcpu-16 by Google Cloud Platform

A compute-focused x86_64 server configuration featuring sixteen dedicated virtual cores and a streamlined two gigabytes of memory per core.

Google Cloud Platform n4d-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 architecture server instance within the n4d family, configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of system memory. This resource allocation provides a memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, positioning the instance for compute-heavy workloads. The server does not include local storage or integrated GPUs, requiring network-attached storage for data persistence and relying entirely on the host CPU for processing. It also includes zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that demand dedicated CPU resources without the overhead of excess memory. Suitable workloads include batch processing, web serving, distributed compute tasks, and continuous integration pipelines.
