      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A fractional GPU instance combining dedicated Intel vCPUs and NVIDIA Ampere acceleration for cost-effective machine learning inference and development.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vcg-a40-4c-20g-8vram is an x86_64 fractional GPU instance configured with 4 dedicated Intel vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 20.0 GB of system memory, and a 360 GB NVMe SSD. It features a fractional slice of an NVIDIA Ampere A40 GPU, delivering 8 GB of VRAM. This hardware configuration excels in low-to-medium scale LLM inference, with top-tier benchmark results for 135M and 7B models. General compute performance is average, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1384.0 and a multi-core score of 4549.0. However, the instance exhibits weaker performance in database operations and static web serving. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for developers requiring GPU acceleration without the expense of a full dedicated GPU, making it suitable for light machine learning inference, image processing, and development workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.456Score
      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.
