      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated processor instance delivering top tier single core performance for balanced workloads without the need for local storage.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8ae.xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC 9T34 physical cores clocked at 3.4 GHz and 16.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this x86_64 instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, but provides a 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core CPU capabilities, though multi-core execution and large-block memory bandwidth remain average. Conversely, cached small-block memory bandwidth, database operations, and Redis throughput fall into the lower tier. This hardware profile delivers balanced cost efficiency for workloads requiring dedicated CPU resources without massive memory or storage demands. It is well-suited for general-purpose applications, microservices, and development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.337Score
      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.
