      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly shared virtual server featuring bundled NVMe storage, optimized for lightweight single-threaded applications and development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      Vultr vhf-2c-4gb is an x86_64 virtual server within the High Frequency Compute family, configured with 2 shared Intel vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads), 4.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 128 GB NVMe SSD. While single-threaded performance is respectable—demonstrated by average stress-ng single-core scores and strong single-threaded gzip compression—the shared CPU allocation and memory architecture present clear performance tradeoffs. Multi-core CPU benchmarks, Passmark scores, and uncached memory bandwidth fall into the weak and poor categories, with database operations showing significant limitations. Qualitatively, this server represents a budget-friendly option for resource-light applications. It is best suited for basic web serving, lightweight single-threaded tasks, and development environments rather than memory-intensive or highly parallelized database workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.228Score
      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.
