      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU x86_64 instance with eight cores and sixteen gigabytes of memory, optimized for budget-conscious web serving and caching.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m2.2xlarge is an x86_64 server instance within the ecs.e family, utilizing a KVM hypervisor. It features 8 vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM. This instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and it operates on a shared CPU allocation model with 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks place this server in the average tier for most tasks, including a Passmark CPU score of 11140.77 and Redis SET throughput of 9.25 million operations per second, though single-threaded compression performance is weak. Given its resource density and shared CPU architecture, it represents a budget-friendly option for non-critical workloads. It is best suited for static web serving, Redis caching, and lightweight database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.668Score
      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.
