CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and NVMe storage for CPU-intensive, low-memory workloads.

Compute Optimized

The OVHcloud c3-8 is a compute-optimized virtual server powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC processor running at 2.3 GHz on a KVM hypervisor. It features 4 dedicated physical cores with hyperthreading disabled, 8.0 GB of RAM, and a 100 GB NVMe SSD. While stress-ng benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance, its memory subsystem and static web serving throughput are relatively weak, placing in the bottom 25% of benchmarks. The server lacks GPU acceleration and has a baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps. Given its 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated CPU allocation, the c3-8 is qualitatively cost-effective for CPU-bound workloads that require dedicated execution threads but have modest memory requirements, such as lightweight software compilation, single-threaded processing, and basic application hosting.

0.472Score

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.
