      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, single-core virtual server offering strong single-threaded performance and local SSD storage for lightweight utility workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      The UpCloud STARTER-1xCPU-4GB is a budget-friendly virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 AMD EPYC 9575F processor. It features 1 shared vCPU, 4.0 GB of RAM, and 30 GB of local SSD storage. While single-core benchmarks reveal top-tier performance in single-threaded tasks like stress-ng and gzip compression, multi-core and memory-intensive operations are heavily constrained. Geekbench multi-core and software compilation benchmarks fall into the bottom 10%, reflecting the limitations of its single-thread, shared-CPU architecture. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight workloads, such as basic text processing, static web serving, and simple single-threaded applications, but is not recommended for databases or parallelized computing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.276Score
      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.
