      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level shared CPU instance with local NVMe storage for lightweight utility tasks and development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vc2-2c-4gb is a Cloud Compute instance featuring 2 shared vCPUs on an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.0 GHz, supported by 4.0 GB of RAM and 80 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The processor utilizes hyper-threading with 2 threads on a single physical core and includes a 16 MB L3 cache. Benchmark evaluations place this instance in the lower performance tiers, with Geekbench single-core and multi-core scores of 760.0 and 1329.0, and a Passmark CPU score of 2470.92. Memory bandwidth for large blocks is constrained, measuring 19.26 GB/sec for read operations. Given the shared CPU allocation and modest processing capabilities, this instance is designed for budget-conscious, low-intensity workloads such as static web serving, basic application testing, and lightweight background automation tasks where sustained compute performance is not a primary requirement.

      Workload Profiles

      0.12Score
      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.
