      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A cost-efficient, single-core ARM64 virtual machine designed for lightweight application hosting, software development, and basic microservices.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-1 is an ARM64-based virtual machine instance designed for lightweight general-purpose workloads. It is equipped with a single dedicated physical core from an Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz, paired with 4.0 GB of system memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, relying on network-attached resources. Benchmark data indicates average single-core CPU performance, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are constrained by the single-vCPU architecture. The processor includes hardware-accelerated AES cryptography but lacks advanced vector extensions. This instance provides a cost-effective platform for ARM64 software development, testing, static web serving, and basic microservices, offering a balanced resource profile for workloads that do not require high parallel processing capabilities or massive memory throughput.

      Workload Profiles

      0.101Score
      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.
