      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM density and local SSD storage for workloads with moderate processing requirements.

      Memory OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      The UpCloud HIMEM-4xCPU-32GB is a KVM-based virtual server designed for memory-intensive workloads. It features 4 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 7542 processor at 2.0 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM and a 100 GB local SSD. While providing a generous 8.0 GB of memory per core, the server utilizes a shared CPU allocation model. This configuration results in a performance tradeoff, with benchmarks showing poor single-core and weak multi-core CPU performance. Memory read bandwidth remains average, but uncached write bandwidth and overall Passmark memory scores are low. Consequently, this server is best suited for memory-heavy applications with moderate CPU requirements, such as caching layers, lightweight databases, or memory-intensive development environments, rather than high-throughput transactional systems or compute-heavy tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.31Score
      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.
