      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and moderate memory capacity for standard utility workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g6.xlarge is a general-purpose virtual machine instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, this KVM-based instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and it features a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark results place its compute and memory bandwidth performance mostly in the bottom 25%, though its Geekbench single-core and PassMark memory scores reach average levels. This hardware profile makes the instance a qualitatively cost-efficient option for light workloads, including development environments, basic web serving, and general-purpose utility tasks that do not require high-throughput data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.25Score
      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.
