      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 server featuring dedicated cores, a high-capacity bundled local SSD, and balanced multi-core performance for database workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2ne.4xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 128.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 3839 GB local SSD, operating under a KVM hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Benchmark results show a contrast between weak single-core performance (bottom 25% in stress-ng and Geekbench) and average multi-core capabilities (middle 50% in stress-ng and Passmark CPU). Memory bandwidth and database operations, including Redis SET operations, perform at average levels, while Passmark memory scores are weak. Qualitatively, the server provides high storage and memory density relative to its compute resources. It is suited for database operations, multi-threaded applications, and static web serving, though it presents a tradeoff in single-threaded processing efficiency.

      Workload Profiles

      0.574Score
      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.
