Server Description
A dedicated x86_64 server offering sixteen physical cores and sixty-four gigabytes of memory for predictable, non-hyperthreaded computing workloads.
General PurposeCompute Optimized
Alibaba Cloud ecs.c2.xlarge is an x86_64 server instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs mapped to 16 physical cores with 1.0 thread per core, running on the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 64.0 GB of system memory, establishing a 4.0 GB memory-to-core ratio. The instance does not include local storage, requiring network-attached storage solutions, and lacks GPU hardware accelerators. It also provides zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. With dedicated CPU allocation and a balanced resource profile, this instance is designed for general-purpose workloads, application servers, and web serving environments that benefit from dedicated physical cores and predictable compute performance without hyperthreading.

Workload Profiles
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.
Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.
Precomputed compound score for Compute Heavy Applications 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: 15% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 10% stress-ng div16 single core, 20% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 15% PassMark floating point, 15% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 10% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark physics simulation. Rationale for component selection: Number-crunching workload augmenting raw CPU performance stressing, general CPU performance benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and pure math computation speed like floating point, integer, SIMD (AVX/SSE/FMA) operations.
Precomputed compound score for Data Analysis 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: 70% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Gzip compression (single-core, level 5), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite). Rationale for component selection: Data analysis and ETL workloads are memory-bandwidth-bound and CPU-throughput-driven. The profile combines general CPU performance and memory bandwidth/latency as the primary drivers, supplemented by single-core compression speed as a proxy for serialisation-heavy ETL tasks.
Precomputed compound score for LLM Inference 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: 15% LLM text generation (SmolLM-135M, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (SmolLM-135M, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama 7B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama 7B, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama-3.3 70B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama-3.3 70B, 512 tok), 5% Memory bandwidth (read, 256 MB), 2% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 2% PassMark floating point. Rationale for component selection: VRAM and memory-bandwidth-bound LLM inference workload, using direct LLM speed benchmarks at three model sizes, and supplementing with raw memory bandwidth and SIMD performance benchmarks.
Precomputed compound score for Web Server 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: 30% Static web RPS (1 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% Static web RPS (64 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% Static web throughput (256 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% OpenSSL AES-256-CBC (16 kB blocks), 5% Gzip compression (multi-core, level 5), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Primary workloads drivers are single-process static HTTP serving speed and throughput, text processing, TLS termination, and asset compression.
