      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level cloud instance featuring fractional GPU acceleration and NVMe storage for lightweight model inference and development workloads.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vcg-a16-2c-8g-2vram is an entry-level instance within the Cloud GPU family, featuring 2 vCPUs on a dedicated 2.0 GHz Intel x86_64 processor, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. It includes a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A16 GPU with 2 GB of VRAM. While multi-core and memory bandwidth benchmarks are weak, single-core performance is average, and the instance demonstrates top-tier prompt processing speeds of 7078.28 tokens/sec for small 135M parameter LLMs. This server provides a cost-efficient entry point for lightweight GPU-accelerated tasks, small-scale model inference, and development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.241Score
      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.
