      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced virtual server combining sixteen shared cores, sixty-four gigabytes of memory, and fast local NVMe storage for general workloads.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Vultr vc2-16c-64gb is a General Purpose virtual server from the Cloud Compute family, configured with 16 shared vCPUs on an Intel Xeon x86_64 architecture with 8 physical cores running at 2.0 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of RAM and a 1280 GB local NVMe SSD, with no integrated GPU. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 21535.52 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 6565.0. However, single-core performance is limited, as shown by a poor Geekbench single-core score of 836.0. The server delivers solid memory bandwidth, reaching 107.12 GB/sec for large block reads, and supports 23.04 million operations per second in Redis SET benchmarks. This resource profile is suitable for static web serving, database operations, and multi-threaded processing workloads that benefit from high memory and fast local storage capacity under a shared CPU model.

      Workload Profiles

      0.857Score
      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.
