    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated thirty-two core compute instance featuring high-speed local SSD storage and balanced memory bandwidth for parallel processing workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The OVHcloud c2-120 is a compute-optimized server instance built on the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 architecture. It features a dedicated Intel processor with 32 physical cores and 32 vCPUs running at 3.0 GHz, offering a single thread per core. The system is equipped with 120.0 GB of RAM, a local 400 GB SSD, and 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show average results across most metrics, including a PassMark CPU score of 40620.12 and a static web serving throughput of 21.65 GB/sec. However, it excels in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression, reaching 253.18 GB/sec. Conversely, text generation for LLMs is a notable bottleneck, with poor token-per-second rates. This instance is highly suited for dedicated compute workloads, software compilation, and parallel batch processing, but less optimal for generative AI inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.75Score
    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.
