Server Description
A dedicated GPU-accelerated instance featuring sixteen physical cores, sixty-four gigabytes of memory, and an NVIDIA P4 graphics processor.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5i-c16g1.4xlarge is an x86_64 GPU-accelerated server instance within the ecs.gn5i family, managed via the KVM hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs with a one-to-one thread-to-core ratio, paired with 64.0 GB of system memory. Acceleration is provided by a single NVIDIA P4 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. The instance does not include local storage, relying entirely on network-attached storage, and offers a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. This hardware profile delivers a balanced ratio of 4.0 GB of RAM per core alongside dedicated GPU resources, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for entry-level parallel processing. It is designed for workloads such as machine learning inference, video transcoding, and media processing.
