      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high-capacity RAM and top-tier memory bandwidth for caching and database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vx1-m-32c-256gb is a memory-optimized server in the VX1 Cloud Compute family, featuring 32 vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an AMD EPYC x86_64 processor running at 2.0 GHz with a shared CPU allocation, it delivers a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The server lacks a GPU and provides a minimal 1 GB of network-attached storage. Benchmarks highlight top-tier memory write bandwidth and memory scores, alongside strong single-core CPU performance, though multi-core CPU performance remains average due to the shared resource model. This configuration is highly cost-effective for memory-intensive applications that do not demand dedicated CPU cores. It is optimized for database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and lightweight LLM text generation.

      Workload Profiles

      3.21Score
      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.
