    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core Intel virtual server with local SSD storage, designed for lightweight compute tasks and predictable single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    OVHcloud c2-7 is a compute-optimized virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Haswell processor. Operating at 3.0 GHz, it provides 2 dedicated physical cores with 1 thread per core, 7.0 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data places its CPU and memory performance primarily in the bottom 10% to 25% cohorts, with weak results in stress-ng, Geekbench, and memory bandwidth tests. Despite these limitations, it maintains average performance for text generation on small 135M parameter language models. Lacking hyperthreading and advanced vector extensions like AVX-512, the c2-7 represents a low-density, dedicated resource tier. It is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded tasks, basic web serving, and small-scale database operations where dedicated CPU allocation is preferred over high-throughput parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.172Score
    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.
