      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and 32 GB of RAM for reliable web serving and database workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g7nex.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8369B processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating at 2.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, it delivers balanced compute and memory resources. Benchmark results indicate average performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5771.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 11362.25. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth for external data transfers. It achieves a static web serving throughput of 11.47 GB/sec and handles 7.8 million Redis SET operations per second. This instance is suited for general-purpose workloads, including web serving, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.59Score
      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.
