      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated compute-optimized instance featuring eight vCPUs and balanced multi-core performance for predictable, non-storage-intensive workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6e.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via KVM, this instance offers a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and lacks local storage or GPU accelerators. Network performance is anchored by a 3 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, including average scores in Geekbench multi-core, Passmark CPU, and Redis SET operations. Conversely, single-core performance and compression tasks are weak. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures consistent performance, making this instance highly suitable for multi-threaded workloads, static web serving, software compilation, and database operations that require steady compute resources without high memory demands.

      Workload Profiles

      0.45Score
      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.
