      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, balanced memory allocation, and top-tier single-core CPU performance.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8ae.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an x86_64 AMD EPYC 9T34 processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor at 3.4 GHz, it includes 32 MB of L3 cache but lacks local storage and GPU hardware. The instance delivers top-tier single-core CPU performance in stress-ng benchmarks, while its multi-core, memory bandwidth, and database operation metrics rank in the average tier. Supported instruction sets include AVX-512 variants and cryptographic accelerators like AES and SHA_NI. With a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps and a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance is configured for workloads such as static web serving, Redis caching, and database operations.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.53Score
      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.
