      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-core virtual server combining eight AMD EPYC cores with local SSD storage for budget-conscious multi-threaded processing.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      The UpCloud HICPU-8xCPU-16GB is an x86_64 virtual server built on the KVM hypervisor, featuring an AMD EPYC 7542 processor clocked at 2.0 GHz. It provides 8 vCPUs under a shared CPU allocation model, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and 200 GB of local SSD storage. Performance benchmarks place its multi-core processing, software compilation, and cryptography capabilities in the average tier, though single-core performance and uncached memory write bandwidth are constrained to the bottom 10%. This configuration represents a budget-friendly option for compute-centric workloads that benefit from multi-threaded execution but do not demand sustained, dedicated CPU performance or high memory throughput. It is suitable for multi-threaded batch jobs, software building, and moderate web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.478Score
      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.
