    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated eight-core general-purpose server with balanced memory and local SSD storage for stable multi-threaded application hosting.

    General Purpose

    OVHcloud b2-30 is a general-purpose cloud server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Haswell vCPUs (8 physical cores, no hyperthreading) clocked at 2.0 GHz, 30.0 GB of RAM, and a local 200 GB SSD. Running on the KVM hypervisor, this instance exhibits a distinct performance profile: while single-core CPU benchmarks and large-block memory write speeds are weak, multi-core performance and cached memory bandwidth consistently rank in the average tier. The lack of AVX-512 and AMX instructions limits its capability for modern vector processing. However, its dedicated CPU allocation and balanced memory-to-core ratio provide stable, predictable execution. This server is best suited for multi-threaded workloads such as static web serving, Redis key-value stores, and general-purpose application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    0.501Score
    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.
