      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated general-purpose instance featuring integrated local SSD storage and balanced memory for standard legacy workloads and basic hosting.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i1.2xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose server featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon E5-2682v4 processor with 8 vCPUs (4 physical cores) running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, 446 GB of local SSD storage, and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with single-core and multi-core CPU metrics, memory read bandwidth, and database operations generally ranking in the bottom 25 percent of tested servers. Large block memory write bandwidth and small-model LLM inference perform at average levels. Lacking modern instruction sets like AMX or AVX-VNNI, this instance is best suited for legacy general-purpose applications, basic web serving, and lightweight development tasks that require dedicated CPU resources and local SSD storage rather than high-performance compute.

      Workload Profiles

      0.33Score
      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.
