      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized server featuring sixteen shared AMD EPYC cores and local SSD storage for parallelized, multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      UpCloud HICPU-16xCPU-32GB is a compute-optimized server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an AMD EPYC 7542 processor. It features 16 shared vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 200 GB of local SSD storage. While multi-core benchmarks like Geekbench and stress-ng show average performance, single-core CPU performance is poor, placing in the bottom 10%. Memory bandwidth for large uncached blocks is also weak, though small cached block reads remain average. This hardware profile is best suited for multi-threaded workloads such as software compilation, static web serving, and multi-threaded decompression, where parallel processing can offset the shared CPU allocation and lower single-core speeds.

      Workload Profiles

      0.76Score
      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.
