      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

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

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g6a.8xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance configured with 32 dedicated physical cores on AMD EPYC 7H12 processors running at 2.6 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM. It features a KVM hypervisor, 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and contains no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data reveals a contrast in performance: single-core CPU execution is poor, placing in the bottom 10%, and uncached large-block memory bandwidth is weak. However, multi-core CPU performance, PassMark scores, and Redis operations consistently reach average tiers. This resource profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for parallelized, balanced workloads. It is best suited for multi-threaded applications, static web serving, and general database operations that do not demand high single-core speeds or local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1.05Score
      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.
