      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, shared-resource server featuring eight x86_64 cores and a balanced memory profile for basic web serving and utility workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.n4.2xlarge is an x86_64 server configured with 8 shared vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it features a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core processing and memory bandwidth, balanced by weaker single-core execution and database operations. Specifically, the instance achieves a stress-ng multi-core score of 8030.46 and a static web serving throughput of 7.92 GB/sec, though single-threaded compression and database benchmarks fall into lower percentiles. This hardware profile represents a cost-efficient option for non-critical, shared-resource environments. It is best suited for lightweight multi-threaded applications, basic web serving, and general utility workloads that do not demand sustained, dedicated CPU performance.

      Workload Profiles

      0.47Score
      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.
