      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A fractional GPU instance combining 16 GB VRAM, shared Intel processors, and NVMe storage for cost-efficient machine learning inference.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

      Vultr vcg-a40-8c-40g-16vram is a Cloud GPU server instance configured with a fractional NVIDIA Ampere A40 GPU delivering 16 GB of VRAM. It features 8 shared Intel x86_64 vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 40.0 GB of system memory, and a 740 GB NVMe SSD. Benchmark results show average performance for general CPU and memory operations, including a PassMark CPU score of 14090.9 and a multi-core stress-ng score of 14175.12. However, the instance achieves top-tier results in LLM inference, processing 3147.67 tokens/sec for 7B model prompts. The fractional GPU design provides a cost-efficient option for GPU-accelerated workloads, though the shared CPU allocation may introduce resource contention. This instance is suited for small-to-medium LLM inference, database operations, and GPU-accelerated web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.742Score
      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.
