      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An arm64 general-purpose instance featuring eight dedicated physical cores and balanced memory for scale-out web serving and multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform t2a-standard-8 is an arm64 general-purpose server instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor clocked at 3.0 GHz. It is configured with 32 GB of system memory, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB of RAM per core, and contains no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6000.0 and a static web serving throughput of 10.09 GB/sec. However, single-core performance and cryptographic operations are weak, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 1073.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 6205.54. Lacking AVX and AMX instruction sets, this instance is not suited for heavy vector math or LLM inference. It offers a qualitatively cost-efficient profile for scale-out workloads, making it highly suitable for web serving, Redis caching, software compilation, and multi-threaded application hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      0.586Score
      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.
