      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly shared-CPU virtual instance with a balanced memory allocation and local SSD storage for lightweight utility workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      UpCloud HIMEM-2xCPU-8GB is a virtual server instance in the High Memory family, utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7542 processor running at 2.0 GHz. The configuration provides 2 vCPUs across 2 physical cores with a shared CPU allocation, 8.0 GB of system memory, and 100 GB of local SSD storage. Performance benchmarks show limitations, with stress-ng CPU tests and static web serving throughput ranking in the bottom 10%. Memory bandwidth and Passmark scores fall in the bottom 25%, though Geekbench single-core performance reaches average levels. Qualitatively, this instance offers a budget-friendly option for memory-allocated workloads, but the shared CPU model introduces performance tradeoffs. It is best suited for lightweight general-purpose applications, development environments, or low-throughput services that do not require sustained compute power.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      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.
