      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A general-purpose virtual server featuring thirty-two dedicated cores and balanced memory for parallelized enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g5.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz and 128.0 GB of RAM. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Baseline network bandwidth is rated at 10 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate a clear tradeoff: while multi-core metrics, memory bandwidth, and database operations rank in the average tier, single-core performance is weak, with single-threaded gzip compression falling into the bottom 10%. This resource profile makes the instance suitable for parallelized workloads such as multi-threaded web serving, database operations, software compilation, and medium-model LLM inference, where multi-core execution can mitigate the lower single-thread efficiency.

      Workload Profiles

      1.11Score
      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.
