      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU entry-level compute instance with two gigabytes of memory for lightweight, consistent background processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.ic5.large is an x86_64 server instance within the ecs.ic5 family, featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 processor running at 2.5 GHz with 2 vCPUs and 1 physical core. It is configured with 2.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:1 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, and contains no local storage or GPU accelerators. Network performance is anchored by a 1 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate entry-level performance, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1098.29 and a Passmark CPU score of 1820.93. Memory bandwidth is limited, reaching 10.26 GB/sec for large block reads. Given the dedicated CPU allocation but restricted memory capacity, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, compute-focused workloads, basic static web serving, and small-scale background utilities that do not require extensive memory or local storage resources.

      Workload Profiles

      0.12Score
      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.
