    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated compute-optimized instance featuring thirty-two physical cores, local SSD storage, and high-speed multi-threaded processing capabilities.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    OVHcloud c2-120 is a compute-optimized server instance built on the x86_64 Intel architecture. It features 32 dedicated physical cores and 32 vCPUs running at 3.0 GHz with no hyperthreading, paired with 120.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 400 GB local SSD. The network interface delivers a baseline bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate average performance across most metrics, including a multi-core stress-ng score of 49032.04 and a static web serving throughput of 21.65 GB/sec. It exhibits strong multi-threaded bzip3 decompression capabilities at 253.18 GB/sec, though LLM text generation performance is limited. This instance is suited for dedicated compute workloads, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.7Score
    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.
