      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 32-core arm64 instance offering balanced memory and physical core density for multi-threaded scale-out workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-32 is an arm64-based general-purpose instance powered by a 3.0 GHz Ampere Altra processor with 32 dedicated physical cores and 128 GB of RAM. Operating without hyperthreading, it provides a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the average tier for multi-threaded workloads, demonstrating a stress-ng multi-core score of 58004.62 and a static web serving throughput of 30.04 GB/sec. However, single-core performance presents a tradeoff, as evidenced by a lower Geekbench single-core score of 1086.0. This instance offers qualitative cost efficiency for scale-out, multi-threaded applications such as software compilation, web serving, and database operations, while being less optimal for single-threaded tasks or large-scale language model inference.

      Workload Profiles

      1.6Score
      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.
