      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-core, compute-focused virtual server offering sixteen AMD EPYC vCPUs and bundled SSD storage for parallelized, budget-conscious workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      UpCloud HICPU-16xCPU-24GB is a compute-focused virtual server featuring 16 shared AMD EPYC 7542 vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz on the KVM hypervisor. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it is configured with 24.0 GB of RAM (1.5 GB per core) and a bundled 100 GB local SSD. Benchmark results show a distinct contrast between its poor single-core performance (stress-ng single-core score of 783.9) and its average multi-core capabilities, such as a Geekbench multi-core score of 10270.0 and a multi-threaded bzip3 decompression speed of 149.12 GB/sec. Due to its shared CPU allocation and low memory-to-core ratio, this server is best suited for cost-sensitive, parallelizable workloads that can leverage multiple threads without requiring dedicated CPU resources, such as static web serving, software compilation, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.93Score
      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.
