      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated eight-core compute instance with a 1:2 memory-to-CPU ratio, optimized for parallelized processing and software compilation.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc5.2xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 6149 vCPUs clocked at 3.1 GHz and 16.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, it relies on a KVM hypervisor and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities, with a Passmark CPU score of 8280.79, alongside average cached memory read speeds of 402.4 GB/sec. However, single-core performance and uncached memory bandwidth are weak, limiting its efficiency for memory-heavy databases. The instance is suited for parallelized, compute-focused workloads with low memory requirements, such as software compilation, text processing, and lightweight multi-threaded applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.371Score
      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.
