      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, shared-CPU instance offering balanced multi-core capabilities and moderate memory bandwidth for non-critical web serving and lightweight database workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m2.2xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 8 vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. Operating under a shared CPU allocation model, it provides 16.0 GB of system memory (2.0 GB per core) but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Network performance is anchored by a 1 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmarks show average multi-core and memory performance, including a Redis SET throughput of 9.25 million operations per second and 10.17 GB/sec static web serving. However, single-threaded performance is weak, as evidenced by low Geekbench single-core and gzip compression scores. This server is a cost-effective option for non-critical, bursty workloads, static web serving, and lightweight database operations where dedicated CPU resources are not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.662Score
      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.
