      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM density and dedicated Intel Xeon processors for memory-bound workloads without local storage.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r6.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and KVM hypervisor, it offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core but lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Baseline network bandwidth is rated at 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal a contrast between weak single-core execution and average multi-core and memory performance. The instance achieves average results in Passmark memory tests, Redis SET operations at 6.84 million operations per second, and static web serving at 6.52 GB/sec. This profile makes the instance suitable for memory-intensive workloads like database operations, in-memory caching, and text processing where high memory density is prioritized over raw single-threaded compute power.

      Workload Profiles

      0.45Score
      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.
