    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and NVMe storage for memory-sensitive, low-concurrency workloads.

    Memory Optimized

    OVHcloud r3-16 is a memory-optimized virtual server running on the KVM hypervisor. Powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC processor operating at 2.3 GHz, it provides 2 dedicated physical cores and 16.0 GB of system memory, establishing a high 8.0 GB of RAM per core ratio. Storage is supported by a bundled 50 GB NVMe SSD. Benchmark data indicates strong single-core CPU performance, though multi-core execution and memory bandwidth for small cached blocks are weaker. Due to low static web serving throughput and weak database operation scores, this instance is not optimal for high-traffic web hosting or heavy database workloads. Instead, it is best suited for memory-intensive, low-concurrency applications, lightweight caching, and basic text processing tasks that require dedicated CPU resources without massive parallel processing needs.

    Workload Profiles

    0.29Score
    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.
