      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      Single-core ARM64 cloud instance providing dedicated 3.0 GHz execution and four gigabytes of memory for lightweight workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-1 is an entry-level general purpose instance built on the ARM64 Ampere Neoverse-N1 architecture operating at 3.0 GHz. Equipped with 1 dedicated physical vCPU, 4.0 GB of memory, and 32 MB of L3 cache, it delivers a standard 1:4 CPU-to-memory ratio. The processor includes hardware AES support but lacks x86 vector extensions and bundled local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks demonstrate solid single-core efficiency with a stress-ng score of 1783.48 and a single-core Geekbench score of 1018.0. Uncached read memory bandwidth reaches 11.99 GB/sec, while static web serving achieves 1.38 GB/sec. With dedicated core allocation avoiding CPU throttling, t2a-standard-1 provides predictable execution for lightweight microservices, ARM build nodes, edge applications, and low-traffic web services.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.098Score
      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.
