      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-core virtual machine offering balanced memory and strong single-core performance for entry-level general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8a.large is a general-purpose instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 2 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9T24 processor running at 2.7 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and KVM hypervisor, it includes 8.0 GB of RAM but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU capabilities, though multi-core performance and cached memory bandwidth are relatively weak. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-efficient choice for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, small-scale web serving, and development environments that require dedicated CPU allocation without the overhead of high-density multi-core configurations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.201Score
      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.
