      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, strong single-core performance, and 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8ae.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Utilizing the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio but lacks local storage, relying entirely on network-attached options. It features a 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data highlights strong single-core performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench single-core scores in the top 25%, alongside strong encryption and text processing capabilities. However, multi-core metrics and memory bandwidth remain in the average tier. This resource profile makes the ecs.g8ae.8xlarge highly suitable for general-purpose enterprise applications, web serving, and software compilation workloads that benefit from high single-thread efficiency without requiring local SSD storage or GPU acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
