      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual server with dedicated Intel Xeon processors, optimized for multi-threaded workloads and stable resource allocation.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g5.4xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, relying instead on network-attached storage and a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks reveal a contrast between single-core and multi-core capabilities; single-threaded tasks, such as gzip compression and single-core stress-ng tests, fall into the lower performance tiers, whereas multi-core benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at average levels. Consequently, this instance is suited for balanced multi-threaded workloads, including static web serving, software compilation, and database operations, where dedicated CPU allocation provides resource stability without requiring extreme single-core performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.58Score
      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.
