      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated single-core ARM64 virtual server offering a high memory-to-CPU ratio for lightweight, single-threaded workloads and development.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.r8y.small is an ARM64 virtual server powered by a dedicated 2.75 GHz Alibaba Yitian710 processor. It features 1 vCPU (1 physical core, 1 thread) and 8.0 GB of RAM, offering a high 1:8 memory-to-vCPU ratio. The instance relies on network-attached storage, has a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, and runs on the KVM hypervisor. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-threaded CPU execution and gzip compression, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are low due to the single-core limitation. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance provides a cost-effective, memory-dense entry point for ARM64 development. It is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded applications, development environments, and basic web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.13Score
      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.
