      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, delivering top-tier single-core performance for compute-intensive workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8ae.2xlarge is a compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and has no local storage or GPU resources. The instance operates on the KVM hypervisor and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. Benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core CPU performance and strong text processing capabilities, while multi-core metrics and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. The processor supports AVX-512 and cryptographic instructions. This instance is designed for compute-heavy, single-threaded, or moderately threaded workloads such as web serving, text processing, and lightweight compilation where high-frequency dedicated cores are required but massive memory or local storage is unnecessary.

      Workload Profiles

      0.522Score
      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.
