      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated AMD EPYC virtual server delivering balanced compute and memory resources for general-purpose workloads and web serving.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8a.2xlarge is a general-purpose virtual server configured with 8 dedicated physical cores on an AMD EPYC 9T24 processor running at 2.7 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. The instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance alongside average multi-core and database execution capabilities. A baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps supports standard data transfer needs. While cached small-block memory reads are highly efficient, uncached large-block memory bandwidth is a relative bottleneck. This hardware profile is best suited for general-purpose workloads, including static web serving, Redis caching, and standard database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.526Score
      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.
