      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, balanced single-core performance, and a low-memory footprint for lightweight workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c7nex.xlarge is a compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8369B processor at 2.7 GHz. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth but does not include local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and static web serving throughput perform at an average level, whereas multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth fall into the lower 25% tier. Consequently, the instance is best suited for workloads with modest memory requirements and a reliance on single-threaded CPU performance, such as lightweight web servers, basic API gateways, and entry-level computational tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.32Score
      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.
