      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level ARM-based virtual server featuring a dedicated single-core processor and balanced resources for lightweight single-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8y.small is an entry-level virtual server powered by the ARM-based Alibaba Yitian 710 processor. Operating at 2.75 GHz, this KVM-based instance features a single dedicated physical core and vCPU, paired with 2.0 GB of system memory. It lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, relying on a 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show average single-core performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1773.69 and single-threaded gzip compression of 27.84 GB/sec, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are expectedly low due to the single-vCPU constraint. The instance provides a highly cost-efficient profile for lightweight, single-threaded applications, basic web serving, and development testing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.131Score
      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.
