    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An accelerated GPU instance featuring an NVIDIA L40S GPU, 180 GB of RAM, and local NVMe storage for machine learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Vultr vcg-l40s-16c-180g-48vram is a Cloud GPU server featuring an Intel Xeon 6448H processor with 16 dedicated physical cores, 16 vCPUs, and 180.0 GB of system memory. It integrates a single NVIDIA L40S GPU with 48 GB of VRAM alongside a 1200 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark results highlight top-tier performance in LLM inference, with prompt processing for a 7B model reaching 6293.73 tokens per second and text generation at 153.1 tokens per second. Single-threaded bzip3 decompression also performs in the top tier at 15.59 GB/sec. Conversely, general CPU benchmarks, such as the PassMark CPU score of 40930.36, fall into the average range. This hardware profile offers high resource density for GPU-accelerated tasks, making it highly efficient for machine learning inference, data science, and database workloads, though it presents a tradeoff in raw single-core CPU clock speed.

    Workload Profiles

    1.77Score
    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.
