      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU virtual machine offering balanced memory-to-core ratios for cost-conscious general-purpose applications and multi-threaded workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m4.2xlarge is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 8 shared Intel Xeon vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPU hardware, relying on a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal weak single-core capabilities, with single-threaded compression and decompression tasks scoring in the bottom tier. Conversely, multi-core performance, software compilation, and static web serving throughput reach average levels. This resource profile offers a cost-efficient solution for general-purpose workloads, multi-threaded processing, and web serving, while remaining less optimal for database operations or single-threaded applications requiring high-frequency dedicated cores.

      Workload Profiles

      0.485Score
      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.
