      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated multi-core instance offering balanced memory-to-CPU allocation for parallelizable general-purpose workloads with moderate network throughput.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g5.6xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 24 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor at 2.5 GHz, paired with 96.0 GB of RAM. Running on the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate a significant divergence between single-core and multi-core capabilities. Single-core execution and single-threaded compression tasks rank in the bottom 10% to 25% of tested hardware. However, the instance achieves average, middle-tier results in multi-core benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and database operations. With an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, the ecs.g5.6xlarge is suited for parallelizable, general-purpose workloads such as multi-threaded software compilation, static web serving, and moderate database operations, though it presents a clear tradeoff for single-threaded tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.874Score
      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.
