      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU virtual machine with a balanced memory footprint for entry-level hosting and lightweight development tasks.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g5.large is a general-purpose instance configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, running on the KVM hypervisor. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor at 2.5 GHz, this x86_64 instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio but lacks bundled local storage and GPU accelerators. Baseline network bandwidth is rated at 1 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate that the instance sits in the lower tiers, with single-core and multi-core CPU metrics ranking in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively. Memory bandwidth and cryptographic performance are similarly constrained. Consequently, the ecs.g5.large is best suited for low-demand workloads such as basic web serving, lightweight development environments, and small-scale utility applications that do not require high-performance compute or storage throughput.

      Workload Profiles

      0.11Score
      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.
