Server Description
A GPU-accelerated virtual instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs, 128 GB RAM, and dual NVIDIA P4 accelerators for AI inference workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5i-c16g1.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated virtual machine built on x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor. The instance features 32 dedicated vCPUs along with 128 GB of system memory, establishing a 4 GB RAM per vCPU allocation ratio. Acceleration is powered by two NVIDIA P4 GPUs containing a combined total of 16 GB VRAM. Network traffic is serviced by a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. No local storage is included on the host, requiring deployment of remote block storage for data persistence, and zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses are assigned. By pairing dual GPUs with a substantial vCPU count, this configuration balances parallel processing throughput with cost efficiency. It is suitable for deep learning inference, media transcoding, computer vision tasks, and general-purpose GPU workloads.
