      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and a balanced resource profile for lightweight workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6.xlarge is a compute-optimized virtual machine instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 4 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 8.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:2 CPU-to-memory ratio, and includes no local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, the instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate entry-level performance, with stress-ng CPU and memory bandwidth scores generally falling into the bottom 25% tier. Given its dedicated CPU allocation and modest resource footprint, the ecs.c6.xlarge is best suited for lightweight web serving, basic batch processing, and entry-level compute tasks that do not require high memory density or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.263Score
      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.
