Server Description
A GPU-accelerated virtual server featuring dedicated processing cores and dual graphics processors for parallel computing and media transcoding workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5i-c16g1.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance from the ecs.gn5i family, designed for parallel computing workloads. It features 32 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs with a single thread per core, paired with 128.0 GB of system memory. Graphics acceleration is provided by two NVIDIA P4 GPUs with a total of 16 GB of VRAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. It does not include local storage, necessitating network-attached storage for data persistence. This hardware profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-effective for legacy GPU workloads, offering dedicated compute resources without hyperthreading. It is suited for applications such as AI inference, video transcoding, image processing, and parallel computing tasks.
