      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A virtual workstation instance featuring partitioned GPU acceleration and 16 vCPUs for light graphics rendering and entry-level machine learning inference.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.sgn7i-vws-m8.4xlarge is a virtual workstation instance built on an Intel Xeon 8369B processor running at 2.9 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores, 62.0 GB of RAM, and a fractional 0.3333 NVIDIA A10 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. Networking provides a 5 Gbps baseline bandwidth, while local storage is entirely omitted, requiring external block storage. Benchmark evaluations place its multi-core CPU and memory throughput in the middle performance tier, achieving 28,616.81 on stress-ng multi-core and 12,885 on Geekbench. The partitioned GPU model offers qualitative cost efficiency for entry-level visual computing and light inference tasks without paying for an unneeded full GPU pipeline. It fits virtual desktop infrastructure, 3D rendering, light AI inference, and general web applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
