      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 virtual server featuring 128 GB of RAM and 16 dedicated vCPUs for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r6a.4xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7H12 processor on the x86_64 architecture. It operates with 8 physical cores and 2 threads per core, providing 8.0 GB of memory per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show average multi-core CPU and cached memory read performance, though single-core CPU performance and uncached large-block memory bandwidth are relatively weak. This hardware profile makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that do not require high single-threaded compute power. It is best suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.64Score
      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.
