      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A minimal, budget-friendly virtual server with a single dedicated processor and two gigabytes of memory for basic utility workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.n1.small is an entry-level, KVM-based virtual server configured with a single dedicated Intel Xeon 8269CY vCPU running at 2.5 GHz and 2.0 GB of RAM. It features an x86_64 architecture with support for AVX-512 instructions, but does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results place this instance in the lower performance tier, with a Passmark CPU score of 1291.58 and a static web serving throughput of 0.91 GB/sec. Due to its limited resource allocation and low-tier performance profile, it offers a highly cost-effective solution for lightweight workloads. It is best suited for basic web serving, development sandboxes, and simple background utility tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.074Score
      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.
