      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated twelve core compute optimized server designed to deliver balanced performance for multi threaded processing and web serving workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6.3xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 12 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 12 vCPUs and 24.0 GB of RAM, establishing a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, utilizing a KVM hypervisor and offering a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth performance, contrasted by weaker single-core execution speeds. With hardware support for AVX-512 and AES, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-bound tasks that do not require massive memory allocations. It is suited for multi-threaded processing, static web serving, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.609Score
      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.
