    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density GPU acceleration platform featuring eight dedicated graphics processors for demanding parallel computing and multi-threaded workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn6v-c8g1.16xlarge is a GPU-accelerated server instance built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor. It features 64 dedicated physical cores from Intel Xeon 8163 processors running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 256 GB of system memory. The primary hardware highlight is the inclusion of eight NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs, providing a total of 128 GB of VRAM. While single-core performance benchmarks are weak, the instance excels in multi-threaded operations, as evidenced by a strong bzip3 multi-threaded decompression throughput of 200.07 GB/sec. It offers a 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth but lacks local storage. This hardware profile is optimized for parallel computing, deep learning, and high-performance multi-threaded workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.78Score
    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.
