      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU virtual server offering balanced memory capacity and local NVMe storage for general-purpose workloads and staging environments.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vc2-8c-32gb is an x86_64 General Purpose virtual server from the Cloud Compute family, featuring 8 shared Intel vCPUs (4 physical cores, 2 threads per core) running at 2.0 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM and 640 GB of NVMe SSD storage. Benchmark data indicates a clear tradeoff between single-core and multi-core performance; single-core stress-ng and compression metrics fall in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-core stress-ng and PassMark CPU scores reach average tiers. Memory read bandwidth is stable, but large-block write speeds are weak. This shared-CPU instance provides a cost-effective option for workloads requiring high memory density and local storage without demanding continuous, dedicated single-core performance. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, multi-threaded background tasks, staging environments, and moderate Redis caching.

      Workload Profiles

      0.363Score
      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.
