      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level cloud server combining dedicated Intel processors with fractional NVIDIA Ampere GPU acceleration and fast NVMe storage.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vcg-a40-2c-10g-4vram is an x86_64 Cloud GPU server featuring 2 dedicated Intel vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 10.0 GB of RAM, and a 180 GB NVMe SSD. It includes a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A40 GPU allocation with 4 GB of VRAM. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1462.0, but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth results. Notably, the instance excels in LLM inference prompt processing, reaching 202.17 tokens/sec on a medium 7B model. This configuration provides a cost-efficient option for entry-level GPU workloads, making it highly suitable for lightweight machine learning inference, model prototyping, and development tasks that require GPU acceleration without the cost of a full dedicated GPU.

      Workload Profiles

      0.247Score
      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.
