      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly general-purpose virtual server featuring shared AMD EPYC processors, balanced memory, and local SSD storage for entry-level workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      UpCloud STARTER-4xCPU-16GB is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor. Powered by an AMD EPYC 9575F processor running at 2.0 GHz, it provides 4 vCPUs with shared CPU allocation, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark results show top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded gzip compression, though multi-core benchmarks and memory performance remain average to weak. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-effective option for workloads with variable CPU demands. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, and lightweight database operations, while its shared CPU allocation and lower memory performance make it less optimal for sustained high-performance computing or memory-bound tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.58Score
      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.
