      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An arm64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated custom silicon, strong memory performance, and balanced resources for stateless web and database workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8y.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores on the arm64 Alibaba YiTian710 processor running at 2.75 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing 4.0 GB per core, and offers a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show average CPU capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 14486.74, and strong memory performance, placing in the top 25% of the PassMark memory test. A key tradeoff is its weak cryptographic performance, scoring in the bottom 25% on encryption tests. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for stateless, memory-reliant workloads, making it suitable for static web serving, Redis caching, database operations, and general-purpose application hosting.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.76Score
      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.
