      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly fractional GPU instance featuring shared Intel Xeon processors and dedicated VRAM for lightweight machine learning and development workloads.

      GPU AcceleratedBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vcg-a16-3c-32g-8vram is a Cloud GPU instance featuring 3 shared Intel Xeon vCPUs at 2.0 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a 170 GB NVMe SSD. It includes a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A16 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU capabilities, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1705.53, but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth performance due to the shared CPU architecture. The instance is capable of handling smaller machine learning tasks, achieving average inference speeds of 125.03 tokens per second for text generation on a 135M parameter model, though performance degrades on larger 7B models. This hardware profile offers a cost-efficient entry point for lightweight GPU-accelerated workloads, small-scale model inference, and development environments, while being less suited for intensive database operations or heavy multi-threaded computing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.346Score
      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.
