    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A budget-friendly shared virtual server with local NVMe storage, configured for lightweight development, testing, and basic web serving workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    The OVHcloud d2-8 is a Discovery family virtual server instance running on the KVM hypervisor. It features 4 shared vCPUs on an x86_64 Intel Haswell architecture clocked at 2.0 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM and a 50 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark results place this instance in the lower performance tiers, with single-core CPU performance in the bottom 10% and multi-core performance in the bottom 25%. Memory bandwidth and cryptographic execution speeds are similarly constrained, reflecting its shared-resource model. The d2-8 is qualitatively structured as a budget-friendly tier, making it suitable for lightweight workloads such as static web serving, software development testing, and basic database operations where high computational throughput is not required.

    Workload Profiles

    0.19Score
    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.
