      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A cost-efficient fractional GPU instance combining shared Intel processors with NVIDIA Ampere acceleration for entry-level machine learning and development workloads.

      GPU AcceleratedBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vcg-a16-2c-16g-4vram is a fractional GPU instance designed for entry-level accelerated workloads. It is equipped with 2 shared Intel vCPUs, 16.0 GB of system memory, and an 80 GB NVMe SSD. Acceleration is provided by a 0.25 slice of an NVIDIA Ampere A16 GPU with 4 GB of VRAM. While CPU-bound benchmarks and memory bandwidth are relatively weak—as shown by a passmark CPU score of 3681.75—the instance delivers top-tier performance in LLM prompt processing, reaching 308.92 tokens per second on a 7B model. This profile offers a cost-efficient entry point for GPU development, but is poorly suited for database operations or heavy multi-threaded CPU tasks. It is best utilized for lightweight machine learning inference, small model testing, and GPU-accelerated application development.

      Workload Profiles

      0.259Score
      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.
