    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-GPU accelerated instance featuring AMD EPYC processing and 256 GB of memory for demanding machine learning and data science workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory Optimized

    UpCloud GPU-20xCPU-256GB-2xL40S is a GPU-accelerated server instance built on the KVM hypervisor. It features 20 vCPUs from an AMD EPYC 9575F processor, 256.0 GB of system memory, and two NVIDIA L40S GPUs with a total of 96 GB of VRAM. The instance does not include local storage, requiring external storage attachments. In benchmarks, the server delivers top-tier single-core CPU performance and strong multi-core capabilities, alongside high memory bandwidth. It excels in small-to-medium LLM inference, with prompt processing for a 135M model reaching 4555.72 tokens per second. This hardware profile provides a qualitatively cost-efficient balance of high-capacity VRAM and system memory relative to its CPU core count. It is well-suited for machine learning inference, image processing, data science, and memory-intensive database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.68Score
    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.
