      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high memory density for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r6a.xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC 7H12 CPU cores running at 2.6 GHz and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core, though it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates modest compute performance, with stress-ng and PassMark CPU scores falling in the lower percentiles. However, it maintains average performance in cryptographic tasks and single-threaded compression. Memory bandwidth is moderate, with cached reads reaching 200.22 GB/sec. With a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, compute-light workloads. It is best suited for caching systems, in-memory databases, and general memory-intensive applications.
