    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An accelerator-optimized instance combining dedicated Intel Xeon processors with an NVIDIA Ampere GPU for efficient machine learning inference and graphics rendering.

    GPU AcceleratedCompute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Alibaba Cloud ecs.gn7i-c8g1.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated virtual machine instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8369B processor running at 2.9 GHz, 30.0 GB of system memory, and a single NVIDIA Ampere A10 GPU with 24 GB of VRAM. Built on the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage but provides a 16 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. CPU instruction support includes AVX-512 and cryptographic acceleration. In benchmark testing, the instance delivers average CPU and memory performance, but achieves top-tier results in LLM inference, processing 2504.89 tokens per second for prompt processing on a medium 7B model. This hardware profile is optimized for small to medium machine learning inference, image processing, ray tracing, and GPU-assisted compute workloads that do not require local storage.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.61Score
    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.
