    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level GPU instance combining dedicated Intel Xeon processors with NVIDIA Pascal acceleration for budget-conscious parallel computing workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn5i-c8g1.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 CPU cores running at 2.5 GHz, 32.0 GB of system memory, and a single NVIDIA Pascal P4 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this x86_64 server does not include local storage and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates modest CPU and memory performance, with stress-ng single-core scores in the bottom 10% and multi-core scores in the bottom 25%. Memory bandwidth and database operations also rank in the lower percentiles. Given its older-generation hardware, this instance represents a budget-friendly option for legacy GPU-accelerated tasks, basic media processing, and lightweight inference workloads that do not demand high-performance CPU throughput or local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.359Score
    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.
