VPS with Xeon Haswell 1230-1280 / 1GB RAM / Win2008R2SP1

Beepsi

Hello,

I 'm a C programmer and need a VPS with high-speed CPU power for financial number crunching & simulation.

CPU usage will peak only for 1-3 hours per day during a simulation run. Bandwidth usage will be very low, just RDC and little FTPS. Free disk space of 5 GB after OS installation is sufficient, preferable Intel SSD. OS Win2008R2SP1 or Win7x64SP1.

The CPU needs to be from this list as my code needs AVX2 instructions and > 3.0Ghz to avoid long test runs:

• Xeon E3-1230 v3
• Xeon E3-1240 v3
• Xeon E3-1270 v3
• Xeon E3-1280 v3

VPS should offer 1 core + HT, so the CineBench 95 score of the VPS should be around 1000+

RAM should be 1 GB.

Any offers ?

Kind Regards,

Beepsi

Do you need a Dedicated core?

Hi,

Do you need dedicated core of E3-1XX0 V3 or shared cores are ok to you ?

Beepsi

Thanks for the comments. How is the price difference between dedicated/shared core ? Can load balancing guarantee ~100% core power to my VPS if my simulation requests it ? Abusivecores offers Xeon L5639 which doesn't support AVX2, needs to be Haswell generation. HT should be on, too, forgot to mention that.

HT actually lowers single thread performance if all threads are busy.

BTW, your site is slightly broken.

It depends on the code and if it needs to use shared memory / cache space.
