      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      High-density storage instance offering bundled local SSD capacity paired with 64 GB RAM for I/O-heavy databases and memory-tier caching.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2.2xlarge is a storage-focused instance equipped with 8 vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 64.0 GB of memory, and 1919 GB of direct-attached SSD local storage. Driven by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor at 2.5 GHz with AVX-512 support, the system provides an 8.0 GB RAM per vCPU ratio and 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show a PassMark CPU score of 6991.89 and Redis SET throughput of 6.06 million operations per second, alongside large block memory write bandwidth of 35.45 GB/sec. While CPU compute and single-threaded compression scores remain modest relative to newer architectures, the inclusion of dedicated local SSD storage paired with a high memory allocation delivers balanced resource density for localized database engines, memory caching systems, log indexing, and I/O-sensitive transactional processing tasks.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.34Score
      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.
