      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused x86_64 server with dedicated Intel Xeon cores and balanced processing throughput for CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c4.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor running at 3.2 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average CPU performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 16657.34 and a static web serving throughput of 9.51 GB/sec. However, its memory subsystem is a notable tradeoff, with a PassMark memory score in the bottom 25%. This instance is suitable for CPU-bound workloads, including web serving, data decompression, and lightweight machine learning inference, where high memory capacity is not a primary requirement.

      Workload Profiles

      0.847Score
      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.
