      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-dense shared virtual server featuring AMD EPYC processing and NVMe storage, optimized for single-threaded tasks and lightweight caching.

      Memory OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      The Vultr vx1-m-2c-16g-120s is an x86_64 virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, configured with 2 vCPUs on a single physical AMD EPYC core using a shared CPU allocation. It features 16.0 GB of RAM, a 120 GB NVMe SSD, and a 2.0 GHz clock speed. Benchmarks reveal strong single-core performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 3051.87 and high single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core performance and database operations are weak due to the shared CPU model. Large-block memory bandwidth and static web serving throughput remain average. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads, making it suitable for static web serving, caching, and lightweight single-threaded tasks, while being poorly suited for intensive multi-threaded or database-heavy applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.33Score
      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.
