      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

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

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r8ae.8xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. It delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 20 Gbps. Benchmark results highlight top-tier single-core performance and strong memory and cryptographic capabilities, supported by AVX-512 and AES instruction sets. This instance is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including database operations, caching layers, and enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity relative to compute resources.

      Workload Profiles

      1.49Score
      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.
