    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A budget-friendly virtual server with shared Intel processors and local NVMe storage, designed for entry-level development and testing workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    OVHcloud d2-8 is a Discovery family virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Haswell processor. It is configured with 4 vCPUs under a shared CPU allocation model, 8.0 GB of system memory, and 50 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating at 2.0 GHz, the hardware delivers entry-level performance, with stress-ng single-core benchmarks placing it in the bottom 10% and multi-core results in the bottom 25%. Memory bandwidth is also constrained, with uncached large-block reads measuring 35.67 GB/sec. This instance represents a budget-friendly option for non-production environments, basic software testing, and low-traffic web serving, though it is poorly suited for resource-intensive databases or high-performance computing due to shared resource limits and older CPU architecture.

    Workload Profiles

    0.192Score
    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.
