      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and balanced multi-core performance for parallelized workloads without local storage requirements.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc5.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores of an Intel Xeon 6149 processor running at 3.1 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, it maintains a 2.0 GB per core memory ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, relying on a 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show a contrast between weak single-core execution and average multi-core capabilities, with a multi-core stress-ng score of 14404.28 and a Passmark CPU score of 15463.52. Memory bandwidth and multi-threaded decompression perform at average levels, while single-threaded tasks are relatively weak. This profile makes the instance suitable for multi-threaded applications, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations where dedicated CPU resources are required but local storage is not a necessity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.631Score
      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.
