      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 16-core Intel Xeon compute instance optimized for high-frequency CPU workloads and balanced memory performance.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc7.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor running at 3.3 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a 2.0 GB per core ratio, and operates on the KVM hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, but delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. Benchmark results show average performance across the board, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 16538.21 and a Redis throughput of 15.27 million SET operations per second. While it handles smaller 135M parameter language models efficiently, performance drops significantly on larger 7B models. This instance is designed for CPU-intensive workloads, including static web serving, database operations, and moderate computational tasks that benefit from dedicated x86_64 execution units without requiring high memory density.

      Workload Profiles

      0.888Score
      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.
