    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-memory GPU instance featuring an NVIDIA L40S accelerator and AMD EPYC processor for parallel computing and machine learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory Optimized

    UpCloud GPU-20xCPU-256GB-1xL40S is a GPU-accelerated server featuring 20 vCPUs on an AMD EPYC 9575F x86_64 processor, 256.0 GB of RAM, and a single NVIDIA L40S GPU with 48 GB of VRAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier single-core and multi-core CPU performance alongside strong memory bandwidth. It lacks local storage, requiring external storage solutions. The server is highly optimized for workloads such as machine learning inference, image processing, and ray tracing, demonstrating top-tier performance in small-model LLM processing and strong execution in medium-model text generation.

    Workload Profiles

    3.6Score
    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.
