      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 server featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs, 64 GB RAM, and a bundled 1.9 TB local SSD for storage-focused workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2gne.4xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 64.0 GB of memory, and a bundled 1919 GB local SSD. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Benchmark results show weak single-core CPU performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench single-core scores in the bottom 25%, and poor single-threaded compression speeds. However, its multi-core capabilities, memory bandwidth, and static web serving throughput perform in the average tier. The combination of dedicated vCPUs and high-capacity local SSD storage makes this instance a viable option for database operations, web serving, and multi-threaded workloads where local storage density is prioritized over high single-threaded compute performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.58Score
      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.
