      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.ce4.2xlarge is an x86_64 virtual server featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8369HB processor with 8 vCPUs (4 physical cores) running at 3.2 GHz and 64.0 GB of RAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it lacks local storage and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates average performance for general compute tasks, including stress-ng and Geekbench suites, alongside a high cached memory read bandwidth of 465.3 GB/sec. However, uncached large-block memory reads and Passmark database operations perform weakly, placing in the bottom 25 percent. With its 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this memory-optimized instance is best suited for memory-intensive workloads such as caching layers, static web serving, and moderate text processing, while being less optimal for database-heavy operations or large-scale LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.52Score
      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.
