      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency, compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and AVX-512 support for intensive CPU-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc7.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor running at 3.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and KVM hypervisor, it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, but provides a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. The instance supports AVX-512 instructions, enabling efficient execution of vector and matrix operations. Benchmark results place its performance in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 8021.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 17307.79. It demonstrates strong capabilities in static web serving at 12.68 GB/sec and Redis operations at 15.27 million operations per second. However, memory-intensive uncached operations and larger LLM inference tasks show performance limitations. This instance is best suited for compute-intensive workloads such as software compilation, web serving, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.89Score
      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.
