      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly shared CPU virtual server with NVMe storage for lightweight applications and development environments.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vc2-4c-8gb is a Cloud Compute virtual server configured with 4 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of system memory, running on an Intel Xeon x86_64 architecture at 2.0 GHz. The CPU resources are shared, utilizing 2 physical cores with hyper-threading. Storage is provided via a bundled 160 GB NVMe SSD, while no GPU is present. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the lower tiers, with weak stress-ng CPU scores and poor Passmark database and memory results. However, it maintains an average read-only memory bandwidth of 367.64 GB/sec for small cached blocks. This hardware profile represents a budget-friendly option for non-critical workloads, lightweight web serving, and development environments where dedicated CPU performance is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.204Score
      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.
