      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-core-density, dedicated compute instance featuring a one-to-one ratio of gigabytes of memory to physical processor cores.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.ic5.16xlarge is a compute-focused x86_64 server instance within the ecs.ic5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 64 dedicated physical cores, 64 vCPUs, and 64.0 GB of RAM, establishing a 1:1 memory-to-core ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but provides a 20 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks reveal weak single-core execution, but strong multi-threaded capabilities, as evidenced by top-tier bzip3 multi-threaded decompression results. Multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently rank in the average tier. This resource profile is suited for highly parallelized, compute-bound workloads such as software compilation, multi-threaded data processing, and web serving, where high core density is required without a corresponding demand for large memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      1.76Score
      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.
