      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated 16-core Intel Xeon instance configured with 32 GB RAM for compute-focused multi-threaded workloads without local storage.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.n1.3xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8163 processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding 2.0 GB of memory per core, and contains no local storage or GPU resources. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, the instance delivers average multi-core performance, highlighted by a stress-ng multi-core score of 15839.14 and a PassMark CPU score of 16949.88, though its single-core performance is weak. Memory bandwidth is moderate, with uncached read speeds of 106.51 GB/sec. This hardware profile is suited for multi-threaded processing, static web serving, and moderate database operations where dedicated CPU resources are required but high memory-to-CPU ratios or local storage are unnecessary.

      Workload Profiles

      0.796Score
      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.
