      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-core virtual server combining strong single-threaded CPU performance with bundled SSD storage for lightweight utility and web serving workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      UpCloud PREMIUM-2xCPU-8GB is an x86_64 virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 2 shared vCPUs from an AMD EPYC 9575F processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of local SSD storage. While single-core CPU benchmarks like stress-ng and single-threaded gzip compression rank in the top tier, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are limited, with PassMark memory scores falling into the bottom 10%. The server includes one complimentary public IPv4 address and supports advanced vector and cryptographic instructions. This configuration is suited for lightweight workloads such as static web serving, text processing, and basic single-threaded applications, but is constrained for memory-intensive database operations, software compilation, or multi-threaded processing due to its shared CPU allocation and memory bottlenecks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.398Score
      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.
