      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 general-purpose instance with dedicated Intel Xeon cores and balanced memory, suited for moderate, non-storage-intensive workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g5.2xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. It operates on the KVM hypervisor, lacks local storage, and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates generally weak performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench CPU scores falling into the bottom 25%. While large-block memory bandwidth and small-model LLM inference perform at average levels, more intensive tasks like database operations, Redis SET operations, and larger LLM inference show poor to weak results. This instance is best suited for moderate general-purpose workloads, basic web serving, and lightweight application hosting that do not require high-speed local storage or intensive multi-threaded compute capabilities.

      Workload Profiles

      0.39Score
      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.
