      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A single-core Arm64 virtual machine designed for lightweight single-threaded applications, basic web serving, software development, and cost-efficient background microservices.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8y.small is an arm64-based instance configured with 1 dedicated vCPU and 4.0 GB of memory. Powered by an Alibaba Yitian710 processor running at 2.75 GHz, this KVM-based server lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 1 Gbps baseline network. Performance benchmarks reveal average single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1375.0 and a stress-ng single-core score of 1776.78. However, its single-core architecture results in poor multi-core and memory bandwidth performance, with uncached memory write speeds limited to 8.2 GB/sec. This instance provides a cost-efficient entry point for Arm64 development but presents clear tradeoffs in parallel processing and database throughput. It is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and microservices.

      Workload Profiles

      0.138Score
      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.
