      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU virtual server offering balanced memory and high-capacity NVMe storage for multi-threaded workloads and database operations.

      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 processor running at 2.0 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a 1280 GB NVMe SSD. It features no GPU hardware. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the average tier for most multi-threaded operations, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 6565.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 23.04 million operations per second. However, single-core performance is a notable tradeoff, with a poor Geekbench single-core score of 836.0. Given its shared CPU allocation and high storage capacity, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for multi-threaded workloads that do not require dedicated CPU cores. It is suitable for static web serving, database operations, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.86Score
      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.
