    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A GPU-accelerated instance with dedicated Intel Xeon cores and an NVIDIA P100 GPU for machine learning inference and parallel processing.

    GPU AcceleratedMemory Optimized

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5-c8g1.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance featuring an Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 processor with 8 dedicated physical cores on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 60.0 GB of RAM, a bundled 472 GB local SSD, and a single NVIDIA Pascal P100 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. While general CPU and memory benchmarks fall into the lower percentiles, the instance excels in GPU-driven tasks. Specifically, it achieves top-tier performance in prompt processing and text generation for small to medium-sized large language models. This hardware profile makes the instance a qualitatively cost-effective choice for legacy GPU workloads, machine learning inference, and parallel computing tasks rather than general-purpose database or CPU-heavy applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.379Score
    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.
