      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated AMD EPYC instance delivering top-tier single-core performance and balanced memory for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8ae.4xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring a dedicated 16-core AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The instance delivers top-tier single-core performance, ranking in the top 10% for stress-ng single-core benchmarks and the top 25% for Geekbench single-core and text processing tests, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated CPU allocation, it offers qualitative cost efficiency for workloads that do not require massive memory arrays or local NVMe storage. It is well-suited for web serving, text processing, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.838Score
      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.
