      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 64-core AMD EPYC compute instance designed for highly parallelized workloads, cryptography, and multi-threaded batch processing.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6a.16xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 64 dedicated physical cores and 64 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 7H12 processor at 2.6 GHz. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing 2.0 GB of memory per core, and operates on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor. The instance does not include bundled local storage or GPU accelerators, but it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 16 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average memory bandwidth and database operations, alongside weak single-core performance. However, it excels in multi-threaded tasks, achieving strong results in PassMark CPU tests, encryption, and multi-threaded bzip3 decompression. This profile makes the ecs.c6a.16xlarge highly suitable for parallelized compute workloads, cryptography, and multi-threaded batch processing.

      Workload Profiles

      1.82Score
      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.
