    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server offering high RAM density and dedicated cores for database caching and multi-threaded workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The OVHcloud r2-240 is a memory-optimized server featuring 16 dedicated Intel x86_64 cores running at 2.2 GHz with no hyperthreading. It is equipped with 240 GB of RAM, offering a high memory-to-core ratio of 15 GB per core, alongside a 400 GB local SSD and 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU performance and uncached memory write speeds are weak, while multi-core performance, cached memory read bandwidth, and Redis operations fall into the average tier. This resource profile makes the r2-240 qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that do not demand cutting-edge single-threaded compute. It is best suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and general multi-threaded data processing.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.52Score
    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.
