      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly shared-core virtual instance with local NVMe storage for lightweight applications and development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      The Vultr vc2-2c-4gb is an entry-level, shared-core virtual machine from the Cloud Compute family. It is configured with 2 vCPUs derived from a single physical Intel Xeon core running at 2.0 GHz, paired with 4.0 GB of RAM and 80 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the lower tiers, with stress-ng multi-core CPU performance and large-block memory read bandwidth ranking in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively. Redis SET operations achieve 1.36 million operations per second, while static web serving throughput reaches 1.8 GB/sec. Due to its shared CPU allocation and modest memory capacity, this instance represents a budget-friendly option with variable performance characteristics. It is best suited for low-resource workloads such as basic web hosting, development environments, and lightweight background tasks rather than resource-intensive database or computational applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.125Score
      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.
