      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for memory-bound workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r8a.large is a memory-optimized virtual server featuring 2 vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, running on a 2.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9T24 processor with x86_64 architecture. Utilizing the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides dedicated CPU allocation with 2 physical cores and no hyperthreading. It contains no local storage or GPU accelerators, and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, though multi-core performance and database operations are relatively weak. Memory write bandwidth and single-threaded compression tasks perform at average levels. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, the ecs.r8a.large is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute tasks. It is best suited for in-memory caching, lightweight database hosting, and general-purpose workloads requiring a larger memory footprint without high CPU core counts.
