      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 dedicated core instance featuring a high memory-to-CPU ratio for memory-intensive workloads and caching applications.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.ce4.2xlarge is an x86_64 server instance utilizing an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor with 8 dedicated physical cores and 8 vCPUs running at 3.2 GHz. It is equipped with 64.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it features a 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate average performance across general compute tasks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 4693.0 and Redis SET throughput of 8.03 million operations per second. However, memory bandwidth for large uncached blocks and database operations are weak. This profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-effective for memory-optimized workloads such as caching layers, web serving, and light data processing, while being less suited for intensive database operations or large-scale LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.525Score
      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.
