      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated x86 server featuring balanced memory and a high-capacity local SSD for storage-reliant workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2gne.2xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 959 GB local SSD. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate weak single-core and multi-core CPU capabilities, alongside weak memory read bandwidth. However, it achieves average performance in large-block memory writes and Redis SET operations, reaching 6.1 million operations per second. The server lacks modern CPU instruction sets like AVX-512 VNNI, limiting its efficiency in cryptography and compression. Given its high-capacity local SSD and balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio, the ecs.i2gne.2xlarge is best suited for local database hosting, caching layers, and general-purpose workloads requiring persistent local storage rather than intensive compute power.

      Workload Profiles

      0.338Score
      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.
