      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86 instance offering 8 dedicated vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, and 959 GB local SSD storage for I/O-bound database workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2gne.2xlarge is a storage-focused instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It provides 8 dedicated vCPUs, 32.0 GB of system RAM, and a bundled 959 GB local SSD volume over a 2 Gbps network interface. Hyperthreaded across 4 physical cores under a KVM hypervisor, the processor supports AVX-512 vector instruction extensions. Benchmark results show average multi-core CPU capabilities with a PassMark score of 6917.37 and strong key-value store throughput reaching 6.1 million Redis SET operations per second. Uncached memory write speed measures at 35.92 GB/sec. While single-threaded compression performance is limited, the inclusion of direct local SSD storage delivers balanced cost efficiency for local databases, memory-backed caches, and web serving applications.

      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.
