GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized
Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn7i-8x.16xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 64 dedicated physical Intel Xeon 8369B CPU cores running at 2.9 GHz with one thread per core. It is equipped with 256.0 GB of system memory, providing 4.0 GB of RAM per core. The primary hardware feature is the inclusion of eight NVIDIA A10 GPUs, which provide a total of 192 GB of VRAM. This server does not contain local storage, relying instead on network-attached storage solutions, and offers a baseline network bandwidth of 32 Gbps. The dedicated CPU allocation and high GPU density make this instance suitable for multi-GPU parallel processing, machine learning workloads, and intensive graphics rendering tasks where local storage is not a primary requirement.

Workload Profiles
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.
Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.
Precomputed compound score for Compute Heavy Applications 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: 15% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 10% stress-ng div16 single core, 20% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 15% PassMark floating point, 15% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 10% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark physics simulation. Rationale for component selection: Number-crunching workload augmenting raw CPU performance stressing, general CPU performance benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and pure math computation speed like floating point, integer, SIMD (AVX/SSE/FMA) operations.
Precomputed compound score for Data Analysis 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: 70% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Gzip compression (single-core, level 5), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite). Rationale for component selection: Data analysis and ETL workloads are memory-bandwidth-bound and CPU-throughput-driven. The profile combines general CPU performance and memory bandwidth/latency as the primary drivers, supplemented by single-core compression speed as a proxy for serialisation-heavy ETL tasks.
Precomputed compound score for LLM Inference 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: 15% LLM text generation (SmolLM-135M, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (SmolLM-135M, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama 7B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama 7B, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama-3.3 70B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama-3.3 70B, 512 tok), 5% Memory bandwidth (read, 256 MB), 2% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 2% PassMark floating point. Rationale for component selection: VRAM and memory-bandwidth-bound LLM inference workload, using direct LLM speed benchmarks at three model sizes, and supplementing with raw memory bandwidth and SIMD performance benchmarks.
Precomputed compound score for Web Server 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.
