      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, compute-optimized instance with dedicated virtual cores for lightweight processing and basic development environments.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c5.large is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 4.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate weak to poor performance, with single-core CPU capabilities in the bottom 25% and multi-core performance in the bottom 10%. Memory bandwidth is also highly constrained, with uncached read speeds of 10.04 GB/sec. Given its dedicated CPU allocation but low overall performance-per-resource profile, the ecs.c5.large is best suited for lightweight compute workloads, basic web serving, and development or testing environments that do not require high memory or storage I/O.
