      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 server combining 32 GB of RAM and 959 GB of local SSD storage for memory-intensive and database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2ne.xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8163 processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 959 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates that the instance exhibits lower-tier compute and memory performance, with stress-ng CPU tests and large-block memory read bandwidth placing in the bottom 25% and 10% respectively. This hardware profile presents a tradeoff, offering high storage and memory capacity alongside modest processing capabilities. It is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring high resource density over raw compute power, making it suitable for database hosting, caching systems like Redis, and memory-intensive applications with low CPU demands.

      Workload Profiles

      0.2Score
      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.
