      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated x86 server combining 128 GB RAM with a 3839 GB local SSD for storage-intensive multi-threaded workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2.4xlarge is an x86_64 server within the ecs.i2 family, equipped with 16 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 3839 GB local SSD. It operates on a KVM hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Benchmark data reveals a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression are weak, ranking in the bottom 10% to 25%, whereas multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently reach average tiers. This resource profile provides qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy deployments by combining high local SSD capacity with dedicated compute. It is suited for database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and multi-threaded workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.584Score
      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.
