## CPU

Geekbench was skipped because this server didn't have the free memory for the multi-core run and couldn't run single-core only either. The run log has the details.

## Memory, TLS and scheduler

### Memory bandwidth (STREAM)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Copy higher is better | 43.9 GB/s | 3 | 1.71% |
| Scale higher is better | 25.5 GB/s | 3 | 4.94% |
| Add higher is better | 32.4 GB/s | 3 | 2.02% |
| Triad higher is better | 32 GB/s | 3 | 3.33% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

### TLS and crypto (OpenSSL)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RSA 4096 signs higher is better | 1,021/s | 3 | 1.81% |

| SHA-256 higher is better | 1.69 GB/s | 3 | 0.271% |
| AES-256-GCM higher is better | 24.3 GB/s | 3 | 0.191% |
| ChaCha20-Poly1305 higher is better | 7.11 GB/s | 3 | 0.549% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

### Scheduler latency (schbench)

| Test | Result | Runs | Spread |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Request latency, median lower is better | 2.39 ms | 3 | 0.335% |
| Requests per second, 90th percentile higher is better | 818/s | 3 | 0.374% |
| Request latency, 99.9th percentile lower is better | 5.36 ms | 3 | 5.38% |
| Requests per second, average higher is better | 792/s | 3 | 0.391% |

Average of 3 runs. Spread is the standard deviation as a share of the average.

k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 61 s per level, after a 20 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Wagtail ran the way bakerydemo ships it: uWSGI with 2 workers of 4 threads each, whatever the box, and Postgres and Redis on stock settings. Memory peaked with Wagtail at 298 MB, Postgres at 168 MB, and Redis at 26 MB.

## Advertised vs. measured

| Spec | Advertised | Measured |
| --- | --- | --- |
| vCPU | 2 | 2 |
| CPU | Shared vCPU | 0% of busy CPU time stolen |
| RAM | 2 GB | 1.9 GiB |
| Storage | 40 GB SSD | 39.3 GiB |
| Architecture | x86\_64 | x86\_64 |
| Virtualization | KVM | KVM |
