    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A quad-GPU accelerated server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and Volta architecture for parallel computing and deep learning workloads.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn6v-c8g1.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated server instance designed for parallel computing workloads. It features 32 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of system memory. Acceleration is driven by four NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs with a total of 64 GB VRAM. The instance does not include local storage and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth results, though single-core performance is weak, with stress-ng single-core scoring in the bottom 25 percent. Lacking AVX-512 instruction support, the instance relies heavily on its quad-GPU configuration to handle intensive computations. It is structured for workloads such as deep learning, parallel simulations, and GPU-accelerated processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.99Score
    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.
