      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and stable multi-core 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 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture at 2.5 GHz, this KVM-based server offers a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, relying on external storage options. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core CPU and memory performance, alongside moderate database and text processing capabilities, though single-core execution speeds are relatively weak. With a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps, this instance provides a stable, cost-efficient environment for standard multi-threaded applications. It is appropriate for workloads such as software compilation, moderate database operations, and general-purpose web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.44Score
      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.
