      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level accelerated server combining dedicated Intel Xeon cores, high memory density, and fractional NVIDIA Ampere GPU resources for lightweight workloads.

      GPU AcceleratedMemory Optimized

      The Vultr vcg-a16-3c-32g-8vram is an x86_64 Cloud GPU server featuring 3 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores clocked at 2.0 GHz, 32.0 GB of system memory, and a 170 GB NVMe SSD. It incorporates a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A16 GPU providing 8 GB of VRAM. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1291.0, but weaker multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics. The server is capable of handling lightweight GPU-accelerated tasks, demonstrating average performance on small LLM inference workloads at 121.1 tokens/sec for text generation, though it struggles with larger models. This instance is best suited for entry-level machine learning inference, development environments, and workloads requiring a moderate balance of memory and fractional GPU acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      0.34Score
      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.
