      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated high-frequency Intel Xeon cores and a low memory footprint for single-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc7.xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor clocked at 3.3 GHz. Configured with 8.0 GB of memory (2.0 GB per core) and no local storage, it relies on external network storage and offers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU execution, but multi-core performance and memory bandwidth fall into the lower 25th percentile. This resource profile presents a clear tradeoff: while dedicated high-frequency cores support stable single-threaded tasks, the low memory-to-vCPU ratio and constrained multi-core scaling limit its effectiveness for parallel processing. The instance is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded applications, basic web serving, and small-scale text processing workloads where high memory capacity is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.317Score
      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.
