      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated four-core x86_64 compute instance with balanced memory allocation for general-purpose workloads and single-threaded application tasks.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfg7.xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor at 3.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with KVM virtualization, it provides 4.0 GB of memory per core and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no bundled local storage or GPU. Performance benchmarks show average single-core execution, as seen in Geekbench and stress-ng tests, but weaker multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring dedicated CPU resources without high parallel processing demands. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, lightweight web serving, text processing, and development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.316Score
      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.
