      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 64-core compute-optimized platform delivering strong database and multi-threaded decompression performance without local storage.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc6.16xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 64 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 3.1 GHz. It is configured with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing 2.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Network performance is supported by a 20 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong capabilities in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and large-block memory read bandwidth, alongside strong Passmark database operations. However, LLM text generation performance remains weak. This instance is designed for compute-intensive tasks, software compilation, and database operations where dedicated CPU resources are required, though users must utilize network-attached storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.4Score
      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.
