      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly fractional GPU instance combining shared Intel processors with NVIDIA Ampere acceleration for lightweight model inference and development.

      GPU AcceleratedBurstable & Budget

      The Vultr vcg-a40-2c-10g-4vram is an entry-level Cloud GPU instance featuring 2 shared Intel x86_64 vCPUs, 10.0 GB of RAM, and 180 GB of NVMe SSD storage. It integrates a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A40 GPU (0.0833 allocation) with 4 GB of VRAM. Benchmark data indicates that while shared CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations are weak, the instance delivers strong prompt processing speeds for small and medium language models. This resource profile provides a cost-efficient entry point for developers requiring GPU acceleration without the overhead of a dedicated card. It is highly suited for lightweight LLM inference, model prototyping, and GPU application testing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.249Score
      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.
