      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated AMD EPYC instance delivering strong single-core performance and balanced memory for general-purpose workloads utilizing network-attached storage.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8ae.4xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz. The instance lacks local storage, relying entirely on network-attached volumes, and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Benchmark data reveals a distinct performance profile: single-core CPU execution is highly competitive, placing in the top 10% for stress-ng and top 25% for Geekbench single-core tests. However, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations align with average mid-tier standards. Supported by AVX-512 and cryptographic hardware acceleration, this instance offers a balanced resource configuration. It is suitable for workloads such as web serving, text processing, and general-purpose application hosting where single-thread efficiency is prioritized and external storage is utilized.

      Workload Profiles

      0.84Score
      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.
