      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, shared-CPU instance with balanced memory for lightweight development, testing, and basic web serving workloads.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m4.large is an entry-level, general-purpose instance within the ecs.e family. It features 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor running at 2.5 GHz. Operating under a shared CPU allocation model via the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and has a baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with single-core and multi-core CPU capabilities placing in the lower percentiles, alongside restricted memory bandwidth. Consequently, this instance is highly cost-effective for lightweight workloads that do not demand intensive processing power. It is best suited for basic web serving, development environments, and low-traffic background tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.077Score
      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.
