      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced, dedicated AMD EPYC instance delivering strong single-core performance and cryptographic acceleration for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8a.8xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9T24 processor running at 2.7 GHz. It is configured with 128.0 GB of RAM, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB per core ratio, but lacks local storage and GPU hardware. Network connectivity is established at a baseline of 10 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core and multi-core capabilities, particularly in Geekbench tests and cryptographic operations, while multi-core stress tests and database operations perform at average levels. Lacking local NVMe drives, this instance relies entirely on network storage. It is highly suited for general-purpose enterprise workloads, including software compilation, text and image processing, web serving, and database management.

      Workload Profiles

      1.37Score
      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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3).
