    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 server featuring 48 dedicated cores and dual NVIDIA T4 GPUs for parallel computing and accelerated workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn6i-c24g1.12xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 48 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 186.0 GB of RAM and two NVIDIA Turing T4 GPUs providing 32 GB of total VRAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, this instance lacks local storage but provides a 15 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate weak single-core performance, as shown by a stress-ng single-core score of 1104.08 and poor single-threaded gzip compression. However, its 48 dedicated cores deliver average multi-core performance, scoring 35393.62 in stress-ng multi-core tests, alongside average memory bandwidth and Redis SET throughput. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for parallel processing tasks that leverage GPU acceleration. It is suited for workloads such as machine learning inference, video transcoding, and multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.64Score
    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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): PassMark Memory Mark (composite), PassMark single-thread CPU.
