      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, high RAM density, and fast NVMe storage for data-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

      Vultr vx1-m-16c-128g-960s is a memory-optimized virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC x86_64 processor. Equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 960 GB NVMe SSD, this instance delivers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core CPU performance, single-threaded compression, and text processing, alongside strong memory performance. Multi-core capabilities, database operations, and static web serving throughput align with average industry baselines. Lacking GPU acceleration, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive operations. It is well-suited for database hosting, in-memory caching, text processing, and small-scale language model inference.

      Workload Profiles

      1.65Score
      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.
