      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, shared-CPU virtual instance with a compute-leaning resource ratio for lightweight development and non-production workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m2.xlarge is an entry-level, x86_64 virtual machine from the ecs.e family, utilizing the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 4 shared vCPUs on an Intel Xeon processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM, and contains no local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the lower tiers, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 3141.11 and a Passmark CPU score of 1602.78. Redis SET operations reach 1.19 million operations per second, while static web serving throughput is limited to 0.24 GB/sec. Due to its shared CPU architecture and baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps, this instance is a cost-effective option designed for low-intensity workloads. It is best suited for development environments, lightweight background tasks, and low-traffic web hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      0.076Score
      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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3).
