      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An 8-core general-purpose virtual server offering balanced multi-threaded performance and memory capacity for parallelized workloads without local storage.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.mn4.2xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Operating on a KVM hypervisor with a shared CPU allocation, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate a significant performance tradeoff: single-core capabilities are weak, falling in the bottom 10% to 25% for tasks like gzip compression and Geekbench single-core tests. Conversely, multi-core performance, software compilation, and Redis operations achieve average ratings. This profile makes the instance a qualitatively cost-efficient choice for parallelized general-purpose workloads, multi-threaded applications, and software development environments that do not demand high single-threaded throughput.

      Workload Profiles

      0.443Score
      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.
