      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 16-core compute-optimized instance delivering balanced multi-threaded performance and memory bandwidth for CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6e.4xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated Intel Xeon 8269CY physical cores running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, it relies on network-attached storage and features a 6 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, contrasted by weaker single-core execution speeds. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-heavy, multi-threaded tasks that do not demand high memory-to-CPU ratios. It is best suited for workloads such as multi-threaded web serving, software compilation, and medium-scale database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.776Score
      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.
