      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated eight-core Intel Xeon compute-optimized instance with a balanced memory profile and ten gigabit network bandwidth for compute-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c7nex.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8369B processor running at 2.7 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture and KVM hypervisor, it provides 16.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a 2.0 GB per core allocation. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, but offers a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5804.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 7.83 million operations per second. Supported by AVX-512 and cryptographic hardware acceleration, this server is designed for compute-bound workloads, software compilation, and static web serving where dedicated CPU resources are required without the need for high memory-to-CPU ratios or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.589Score
      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.
