      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU virtual machine featuring balanced memory and bundled NVMe storage, optimized for moderate general-purpose workloads and light web serving.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      Vultr vhf-4c-16gb is a High Frequency Compute instance featuring 4 shared x86_64 vCPUs on an Intel processor with a 2.0 GHz clock speed, 2 physical cores, and hyper-threading. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 384 GB NVMe SSD. Benchmark data indicates average single-core CPU performance and small-block cached memory bandwidth, but reveals weaknesses in multi-core scaling, large-block uncached memory operations, and database tasks. The shared CPU allocation limits its suitability for high-throughput workloads. This configuration is best aligned with general-purpose applications, text processing, and light web serving where sustained multi-core compute and high memory bandwidth are not critical.

      Workload Profiles

      0.29Score
      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.
