      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A storage-dense virtual server combining massive local HDD capacity with dedicated multi-core processing for data-heavy workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.d2s.5xlarge is a storage-focused instance featuring 20 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 88.0 GB of RAM, and a massive 62,706 GB of bundled local HDD storage. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate weak single-core CPU and memory scores, alongside poor single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations fall into the average tier. The instance presents a clear tradeoff, offering high storage density at the expense of high-speed IOPS and single-core compute power. It is qualitatively cost-efficient for storage-heavy, multi-threaded workloads such as distributed file systems, log processing, and large-scale data warehousing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.64Score
      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.
