      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 32-core compute-optimized instance designed for parallelized workloads, multi-threaded processing, and balanced memory-to-CPU resource allocation.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6.8xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 64.0 GB of RAM, yielding 2.0 GB of memory per core, and operates on a KVM hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, but provides a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Benchmark data shows weak single-core performance, but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities, with a Passmark CPU score of 27240.11 and a multi-core Geekbench score of 10181.0. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-effective choice for parallelized, compute-heavy workloads such as multi-threaded software compilation, static web serving, and database operations that benefit from dedicated CPU allocation without requiring high memory-to-CPU ratios.

      Workload Profiles

      1.27Score
      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.
