      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, 64 GB of RAM, and a high-capacity 1.9 TB local SSD.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2.2xlarge is an x86_64 server instance featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 1919 GB local SSD. It operates on a KVM hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate weak single-core and multi-core CPU capabilities, placing in the bottom 25 percent for stress-ng and Geekbench tests. However, the instance maintains average performance in large-block memory read/write operations and Redis SET operations, processing 6.06 million operations per second. The high local storage capacity and 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio provide strong resource density for storage-centric applications. This server is best suited for database hosting, caching layers, and storage-intensive workloads that do not require high-performance compute capabilities.

      Workload Profiles

      0.343Score
      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.
