      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A shared-CPU general-purpose instance with balanced memory and baseline networking for entry-level workloads and development environments.

      General PurposeBurstable & Budget

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m4.xlarge is a general-purpose instance in the ecs.e family, featuring 4 shared vCPUs on an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor at 2.5 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. It contains no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU and large-block memory bandwidth performance, contrasted with weak multi-core CPU scaling and weak database operation metrics. This resource profile provides a cost-efficient option for workloads with low resource density. It is suitable for general-purpose computing, basic text processing, development environments, and light web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.37Score
      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.
