      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring thirty-two dedicated vCPUs and one hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of memory for multi-threaded workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g6.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 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 lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 10 Gbps baseline network interface. Benchmark results show average multi-core performance, including average Geekbench and Passmark scores, alongside weak single-core performance in stress-ng and gzip compression tests. The instance supports AVX-512 and AES instructions. Qualitatively, it provides a balanced resource profile for workloads requiring steady multi-threaded compute without specialized hardware premiums. It is suitable for database operations, static web serving, software compilation, and general-purpose multi-threaded applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.3Score
      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.
