      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated compute instance with a one-to-two processor-to-memory ratio, suited for lightweight single-threaded workloads and utility tasks.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c6e.xlarge is an x86_64 compute-oriented server featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8269CY processor with 4 vCPUs (2 physical cores) running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU hardware, and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data shows that while single-core performance is average, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1160.0 and single-threaded bzip3 decompression at 8.93 GB/sec, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics generally fall into the bottom 25% tier. The 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio makes it suitable for lightweight compute tasks, basic utility services, and development environments that require dedicated CPU resources but do not demand high memory capacity or intensive multi-threaded processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.25Score
      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.
