      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high-speed networking for demanding CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8ae.8xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via KVM, this instance lacks local storage and GPUs but provides a 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Its hardware supports advanced vector and cryptographic instructions, including AVX-512 and VAES. Benchmark results highlight strong single-core and multi-core performance, particularly in Geekbench tests, image processing, and CPU encryption. With a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, it offers a cost-efficient profile for compute-heavy workloads. The instance is suited for image processing, text processing, cryptographic tasks, and web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
