      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated processor cores and balanced memory bandwidth for web serving and distributed workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor, it provides 16.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a 2.0 GB per core ratio. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and it features a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, alongside stable Redis and static web serving throughput, though single-core performance is relatively weak. This hardware profile is best suited for compute-bound workloads, web serving, and microservices that require dedicated CPU resources without massive memory or local storage demands.

      Workload Profiles

      0.443Score
      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.
