      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated four-core x86_64 server with bundled local SSD storage for entry-level general-purpose workloads and development environments.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i1.xlarge is an x86_64 virtual server featuring 4 dedicated Intel Xeon E5-2682v4 cores running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and 223 GB of bundled local SSD storage. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates entry-level performance, with CPU and memory bandwidth results generally falling into the bottom 25% of tested systems. Database operations and static web serving throughput are also modest. Consequently, this server is best suited for lightweight general-purpose workloads, development environments, and low-traffic applications that benefit from dedicated CPU resources and local storage without requiring high-throughput computational or memory performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.19Score
      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.
