      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated x86 server featuring massive local SSD storage and balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i3.8xlarge is an x86_64 server configured with 32 dedicated Intel Xeon 8269CY physical cores operating at 2.5 GHz, 256.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 7679 GB local SSD. It delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps and operates without a GPU. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded gzip compression are weak, placing in the bottom 25% tier, while multi-core CPU execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average tier. This resource profile provides high qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy deployments. The server is designed for database hosting, storage-intensive workloads, and multi-threaded data processing applications that benefit from large local storage capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      1.33Score
      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.
