      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-core virtual server offering balanced memory and local SSD storage for moderate database operations and utility workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      The UpCloud 6xCPU-16GB is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual server running on the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 6 shared AMD EPYC 7542 vCPUs clocked at 2.0 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 320 GB of local SSD storage. While its shared CPU allocation leads to poor single-core and weak multi-core performance in stress-ng benchmarks, it delivers average results in Geekbench, Passmark CPU, and Redis SET operations. This hardware profile offers a cost-effective option for workloads requiring moderate memory and multi-core capacity without continuous high CPU utilization. It is best suited for database operations, software compilation, and general-purpose utility tasks, though it is less effective for high-throughput web serving or intensive LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.41Score
      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.
