    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated 16-core x86_64 server with local SSD storage, offering balanced multi-core performance for general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    OVHcloud b2-60 is a general-purpose server instance operating on the KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 Intel Haswell processor featuring 16 dedicated physical cores running at 2.0 GHz, 60.0 GB of RAM, and 400 GB of local SSD storage. The instance includes a 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth and one complimentary public IPv4 address. Performance benchmarks reveal a contrast between weak single-core execution and average multi-core capabilities, with stress-ng multi-core, Geekbench, and Passmark CPU scores all landing in the middle 50 percent tier. Memory write bandwidth for large blocks is weak, but read bandwidth remains average. This hardware profile is suited for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, static web serving, and moderate database operations, while being less efficient for single-threaded processing or intensive large language model text generation.

    Workload Profiles

    0.785Score
    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.
