      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual machine combining high memory density with strong single-core performance for memory-bound, low-vCPU workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4d-highmem-4 is a memory-optimized instance configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio. It is powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC 9B45 processor with 2 physical cores, 2 threads per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show top-tier single-core execution, including stress-ng single-core and single-threaded gzip compression. Conversely, multi-core benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and database operations align with mid-tier averages, while multi-threaded decompression and medium-sized LLM inference show weaker results. This instance is appropriate for memory-sensitive, single-thread-heavy workloads, such as small-scale database operations, text processing, and static web serving, offering a balanced resource profile without the cost of unnecessary CPU cores.

      Workload Profiles

      0.62Score
      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.
