      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, entry-level virtual server with shared AMD EPYC processing and local SSD storage for lightweight utility workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      UpCloud 1xCPU-2GB is an entry-level general-purpose cloud server powered by a single shared vCPU from an AMD EPYC 7542 processor running at 2.0 GHz. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this x86_64 system is equipped with 2.0 GB of RAM and 50 GB of local SSD storage, alongside one complimentary public IPv4 address. Performance benchmarks indicate that this server is positioned in the lower tier, with stress-ng CPU scores and memory bandwidth metrics falling in the bottom 10% of tested configurations. Single-threaded compression tasks show weak performance, and static web serving throughput is limited to 1.12 GB/sec. Consequently, this server is best suited for low-demand workloads, such as basic web serving, lightweight utility scripts, and small-scale development or testing environments where resource density and cost efficiency are prioritized over raw computational power.

      Workload Profiles

      0.089Score
      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.
