      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

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

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      The UpCloud 2xCPU-2GB is a budget-friendly, entry-level virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with an AMD EPYC 7542 processor providing 2 shared vCPUs, 2.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 60 GB local SSD. Performance benchmarks place this instance primarily in the lower tiers, with stress-ng CPU and PassMark memory scores ranking in the bottom 10% to 25%. However, it achieves average throughput in single-threaded compression tasks. Due to its shared CPU allocation and modest memory capacity, this server offers a highly cost-efficient profile for low-intensity operations. It is best suited for lightweight workloads, including basic web serving, development testing, and simple automation scripts.

      Workload Profiles

      0.17Score
      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.
