    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A GPU-accelerated instance pairing an NVIDIA Volta V100 with dedicated Intel Xeon processors for parallel computing workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn6v-c8g1.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs at 2.5 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a single NVIDIA Volta V100 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. Running on a KVM hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps and contains no local storage. Benchmark results show weak CPU and memory read performance, with Geekbench single-core and multi-core scores falling into the bottom 10% and 25% tiers respectively. However, memory write bandwidth achieves an average rating of 35.65 GB/sec. Given the contrast between the dedicated GPU and the lower-tier CPU performance, this instance is best suited for GPU-bound workloads such as parallel computing, machine learning, and ray tracing that do not depend heavily on high CPU single-core throughput or local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.335Score
    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.
