Server Description
A GPU-accelerated instance combining 16 dedicated vCPUs, 64 GB memory, and an NVIDIA P4 GPU for inference and media processing.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5i-c16g1.4xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance built on an x86_64 architecture using KVM virtualization. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 64 GB of RAM, and a single NVIDIA P4 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. The system provides 3 Gbps of baseline network bandwidth and includes no local ephemeral storage, relying entirely on network storage for persistent volumes. The 4 GB per vCPU ratio combined with discrete GPU acceleration delivers a balanced hardware profile for compute workloads requiring dedicated GPU assistance. The absence of local disk drives trades local I/O throughput for simplified instance scaling and deployment flexibility. This instance is suited for AI inference tasks, video encoding and transcoding pipelines, lightweight computer vision processing, and general GPU-assisted web application serving.
