      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-capacity virtual server featuring forty-eight cores and bundled SSD storage, optimized for highly parallelized, multi-threaded workloads.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      UpCloud 48xCPU-256GB is a general-purpose virtual server running on the KVM hypervisor. It features 48 shared vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 7542 processor at 2.0 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 2048 GB local SSD. While single-core benchmarks like stress-ng single-core fall in the bottom 10%, the server demonstrates strong multi-threaded capabilities, with bzip3 multi-threaded decompression and Passmark CPU encryption scoring in the top 25%. Memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving throughput consistently perform in the average tier. The primary tradeoff is its shared CPU allocation and lower single-core clock speed, which makes it less suitable for single-threaded tasks. However, its high core count and memory density make it qualitatively cost-efficient for highly parallelized workloads. It is best suited for multi-threaded applications, software compilation, database operations, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.56Score
      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.
