      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and high memory density for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r7.8xlarge is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance utilizing the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 32 dedicated physical cores of an Intel Xeon 8369B processor operating at 2.7 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per core memory density. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on a 16 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. CPU instruction support includes AVX-512F, AVX-512_VNNI, and AES. Benchmark results place the instance in the average tier for most compute and memory tests, though it achieves a strong rating in text generation for small language models at 282.15 tokens per second. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and dedicated core allocation, this instance is designed for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, caching systems, and enterprise application hosting.

      Workload Profiles

      1.7Score
      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.
