      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly shared instance delivering top-tier single-core performance and local SSD storage for lightweight, bursty workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      The UpCloud STARTER-4xCPU-8GB is a KVM-based virtual server featuring 4 shared vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9575F processor running at 2.0 GHz. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM, 40 GB of local SSD storage, and one public IPv4 address. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core performance, particularly in text processing, single-threaded compression, and Geekbench single-core tests. However, multi-core benchmarks and memory bandwidth scale to average levels, with Passmark memory scores falling into the bottom 25%. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious, bursty workloads such as lightweight web serving, software compilation, and basic database tasks, while its shared CPU allocation and 1:2 memory-to-vCPU ratio make it less suitable for memory-intensive or sustained high-concurrency applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.772Score
      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.
