      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and average multi-threaded performance for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g6.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor with 8 dedicated physical cores, 8 vCPUs, and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture at 2.5 GHz, this KVM-based server lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, including a Passmark CPU score of 8191.37 and 6.4 million Redis SET operations per second, contrasted by weak single-core performance in stress-ng and gzip compression tests. The hardware profile offers a balanced resource density, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for multi-threaded workloads. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, database operations, and distributed web serving that leverage its dedicated core allocation and AVX-512 instruction support without requiring high-speed local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.437Score
      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.
