      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated general-purpose server featuring integrated local SSD storage and balanced memory allocation for standard workloads.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2g.2xlarge is a general-purpose virtual server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 959 GB of bundled local SSD storage. Operating on the KVM hypervisor with an x86_64 architecture, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate modest processing capabilities, with stress-ng and Geekbench scores placing the instance in the lower quartile, though it maintains average performance in Redis SET operations and PassMark CPU extended instruction tests. The integrated local SSD storage offers resource density, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring local storage without high compute demands. The ecs.i2g.2xlarge is suited for general-purpose applications, development environments, and lightweight database hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      0.337Score
      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.
