      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU instance delivering strong single-threaded performance and efficient resource allocation for lightweight compute tasks.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4d-highcpu-2 is a compute-optimized instance configured with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM, running on an AMD EPYC 9B45 processor with x86_64 architecture. This server features a dedicated CPU allocation with 1 physical core and 2 threads, supported by a 32 MB L3 cache. It contains no local storage and no GPUs. Performance benchmarks show top-tier single-core execution, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2493.0 and high single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, placing in the bottom 25% for multi-threaded tasks and database operations. Qualitatively, this instance provides a cost-effective entry point for dedicated compute resources where single-threaded performance is paramount. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, single-threaded utility scripts, and basic text processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.37Score
      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.
