    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density, 128-core dedicated processor platform with balanced memory and NVMe storage for highly parallelized enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

    OVHcloud b3-512 is a General Purpose server featuring 128 dedicated AMD EPYC physical cores and 128 vCPUs running at 2.3 GHz on a KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with 512.0 GB of RAM, a 400 GB NVMe SSD, and 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU and memory performance, ranking in the top 10% for multi-threaded benchmarks, software compilation, and Redis operations. However, single-threaded performance and large-model LLM text generation are more limited, with the latter falling into the bottom 10% tier. This configuration offers high resource density for parallel processing, database operations, and multi-threaded workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.83Score
    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.
