      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A storage-dense server featuring 128 GB of RAM and 3.8 TB of local SSD storage for database and caching workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2ne.4xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 3839 GB local SSD. While its single-core CPU performance is weak, its multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth perform at average levels. The combination of high local storage capacity and a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio makes this instance highly suitable for database operations, caching, and storage-heavy workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.57Score
      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.
