      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual server offering high memory density and dedicated vCPUs for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.ce4.xlarge is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 processor running at 3.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under a KVM hypervisor, this instance provides 8.0 GB of memory per core but includes no local storage or GPU accelerators. Baseline network bandwidth is limited to 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks generally place the instance in the bottom 25% for both compute and memory bandwidth, though it maintains average speeds for single-threaded compression tasks and small-model text generation. Due to the tradeoff between high memory capacity and lower-tier processing speeds, this instance is best suited for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads such as caching, lightweight database operations, and basic web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.27Score
      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.
