      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A storage-dense virtual server combining 1919 GB of local SSD with moderate memory for data-heavy, compute-light workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2ne.2xlarge is an x86_64 server instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 1919 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate that the instance is compute-constrained, with stress-ng and Geekbench scores falling into the bottom 25%. Large-block memory bandwidth remains average, but cryptographic and compression tasks perform poorly. The primary value of this instance lies in its high local storage density relative to its compute resources. It is best suited for storage-heavy workloads, local caching, and moderate database operations that require substantial local disk space but do not demand high-performance CPU processing.

      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.
