      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-core virtual server balancing eight AMD EPYC vCPUs with a compact memory footprint for multi-threaded, compute-focused workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      UpCloud HICPU-8xCPU-12GB is an x86_64 virtual server featuring 8 shared AMD EPYC vCPUs, 12.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 100 GB local SSD. Operating at 2.0 GHz, the instance offers a low memory-to-core ratio of 1.5 GB per core. Benchmark results show a clear tradeoff, with poor single-core CPU performance but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. This configuration is best suited for low-memory, multi-threaded workloads such as software compilation and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.52Score
      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.
