      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly fractional GPU instance delivering accelerated performance for lightweight machine learning inference and prototyping workloads.

      GPU AcceleratedBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vcg-a40-1c-5g-2vram is a fractional GPU instance designed for lightweight accelerated workloads. It features a single shared Intel x86_64 vCPU running at 2.0 GHz, 5.0 GB of system memory, and a 90 GB NVMe SSD. The instance is equipped with a fractional slice of an NVIDIA Ampere A40 GPU, providing 2 GB of VRAM. While general CPU and memory benchmarks are weak, the instance excels in small-scale AI tasks. It achieves top-tier performance in LLM inference for small 135M models, processing prompts at 9,931.92 tokens per second. This profile offers a cost-effective entry point for GPU-accelerated development, prototyping, and small-scale model inference, though it is not suitable for resource-intensive database operations or multi-threaded CPU workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.147Score
      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.
