CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A balanced general-purpose server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and local NVMe storage for predictable, single-core intensive workloads.

General PurposeStorage & Database

The OVHcloud b3-16 is a General Purpose server featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC physical cores on the x86_64 architecture, operating at 2.3 GHz with 32 MB of L3 cache. It is configured with 16.0 GB of RAM, 100 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network speed of 1 Gbps. Running on the KVM hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, though its multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. A key performance limitation is its static web serving throughput, which falls into the lower tier. Lacking GPU acceleration, it is not designed for heavy machine learning workloads. The b3-16 is best suited for general-purpose applications, text processing, and moderate database operations where dedicated CPU cores provide predictable execution without resource contention.

Workload Profiles

0.484Score

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.
