    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server featuring high RAM density and dedicated cores for database hosting and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    OVHcloud r2-120 is a memory-optimized server instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores on an Intel x86_64 Haswell architecture running at 2.2 GHz. It is configured with 120 GB of RAM, yielding a high resource density of 15 GB per core, alongside a bundled 200 GB SSD and a 1 Gbps baseline network connection. Benchmark results reveal a performance profile suited for memory-heavy tasks rather than raw compute power. While single-core and multi-core CPU benchmarks rank in the bottom 10% and 25% respectively, the instance achieves average scores in Passmark memory tests, database operations, and Redis SET benchmarks. This makes the r2-120 a cost-efficient choice for memory-intensive workloads such as database hosting, caching layers, and software compilation, while it remains less optimal for CPU-bound applications or modern LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.43Score
    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.
