      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a 1-to-4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio for standard workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g6a.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by an AMD EPYC 7H12 processor running on the KVM hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. The instance does not include local storage. Processor capabilities include AVX, AES, and SHA_NI instruction sets, though it lacks AVX-512 support. In performance testing, the instance demonstrated modest compute capabilities, with a stress-ng single-core score of 756.09 and a multi-core score of 3045.4, placing it in the lower tiers of benchmarked systems. This hardware profile is best suited for general-purpose workloads, such as web serving, application development, and moderate business applications that require a balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio without intensive computational demands.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), PassMark integer math, PassMark compression, Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), PassMark string sorting.
