      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A cost-effective virtual server featuring shared AMD EPYC processors and local SSD storage for development and lightweight utility workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      UpCloud 4xCPU-8GB is a general-purpose virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7542 processor. It is configured with 4 shared vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 8.0 GB of system memory, and a bundled 160 GB local SSD. Benchmark data reveals average performance in memory bandwidth and cryptographic operations, alongside weaker outcomes in single-core and multi-core CPU stress tests. The shared CPU allocation offers a cost-effective resource profile for non-intensive workloads. This server is best suited for development environments, lightweight web serving, and low-demand database applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.27Score
      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.
