Compare VPS Plans Sysbench Performance
This page compares the results of Sysbench tests run on the selected VPS plans. Fio file io test results are also included in this page for plans where it's available.
The Sysbench tests measure the raw performance of CPU, memory and disk of the VM for a short period of time.

CPU Test
The cpu test is one of the most simple benchmarks in SysBench. In this mode each request consists in calculation of prime numbers up to a value specified by the --cpu-max-primes option. All calculations are performed using 64-bit integers. Each thread executes the requests concurrently until either the total number of requests or the total execution time exceed the limits specified with the common command line options.
CPU Intensive Operation Rate
Higher is better

Multithreaded
Sysbench File IO Tests
This test mode can be used to produce various kinds of file I/O workloads. At the prepare stage SysBench creates a specified number of files with a specified total size, then at the run stage, each thread performs specified I/O operations on this set of files.
Random Read/Write Rates
Read and Write tests are performed separately. Block size: 4k.
Higher is better
fileio
Random Read 4k,Random Write 4k
Combined Random Read+Write Rates
This is a combined test where reads and writes are performed at the same time. Block size: 4k.
Higher is better
fileio: Random Read-Write 4k
Read transfer rate, Write transfer rate
Sequential Read/Write Rates
Read and Write tests are performed separately. Block size: 128k.
Higher is better
fileio: Sequential Read 128k,Sequential Write 128k

Random Write Latencies
Only writes were performed during this test. Block size: 4k.
