    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density GPU server featuring eight accelerators and robust multi-threaded performance for parallel computing and deep learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn6v-c8g1.16xlarge is a GPU-accelerated server featuring 64 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 256.0 GB of system memory, and eight NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs with 128 GB of total VRAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage but provides a 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate a trade-off between weak single-core performance, evidenced by low single-threaded compression scores, and strong multi-threaded capabilities, highlighted by a top-tier multi-threaded bzip3 decompression rating. Memory bandwidth and static web serving throughput remain average. This hardware configuration is qualitatively optimized for high-density parallel processing rather than single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for GPU-accelerated workloads, deep learning, and highly parallelized scientific computations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.7Score
    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.
