      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-based instance featuring sixteen dedicated cores and balanced memory, optimized for multi-threaded workloads and web serving applications.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-16 is an ARM-based general-purpose server instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores powered by an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 64.0 GB of RAM, translating to 4.0 GB of memory per core, and contains no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9311.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 28983.31. However, single-core performance is a primary tradeoff, with Geekbench single-core and text processing scores falling into the bottom 25% tier. Memory bandwidth is stable, supporting 129.41 GB/sec for uncached large-block reads. This resource profile is suited for multi-threaded workloads, static web serving, and database operations, but is less optimal for single-threaded processing or intensive cryptographic tasks.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.99Score
      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.
