      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU server featuring strong single-core performance and fast NVMe storage for single-threaded applications and lightweight web serving.

      General Purpose

      The Vultr vx1-g-2c-8g-120s is an x86_64 general-purpose server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, featuring 2 dedicated AMD EPYC vCPUs, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 120 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. It delivers top-tier single-core performance, with stress-ng single-core, gzip compression, and bzip3 decompression benchmarks ranking in the top 10%. However, multi-core capabilities are limited, with Geekbench multi-core and software compilation scores falling into the bottom 25%. Memory bandwidth and static web serving throughput are average. This hardware configuration is best suited for single-threaded applications, text processing, and lightweight web serving, while being less optimal for parallelized workloads or intensive database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.385Score
      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.
