      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced 8-vCPU instance featuring 32 GB RAM and bundled local SSD storage for efficient caching and lightweight database tasks.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2g.2xlarge is an x86_64 instance featuring 8 vCPUs from a 4-core Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz, 32 GB of RAM, and a bundled 959 GB local SSD. Operating on KVM with 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, it incorporates 33 MB of L3 cache and AVX-512 extensions. Benchmarks reflect moderate multi-threaded efficiency, reaching 5.98 million Redis SET operations per second and average PassMark CPU scores, alongside lower performance in high-intensity compute tests. The local SSD capacity delivers resource-dense, low-latency disk access without auxiliary storage attachments. This configuration is suitable for caching services, key-value stores, local database operations, and lightweight web serving.

      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.
