      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      Virtual workstation instance offering 16 vCPUs, 32 GB memory, and a fractional NVIDIA A10 GPU with 8 GB VRAM.

      GPU AcceleratedCompute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.sgn7i-vws-m8s.4xlarge is a GPU-accelerated cloud instance powered by an 8-core, 16-vCPU Intel Xeon 8369B processor running at 2.9 GHz on x86_64 architecture with dedicated CPU allocation. The instance features 32.0 GB of System RAM alongside a fractional NVIDIA A10 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM (0.3333 GPU allocation). It includes a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth and no attached local storage. Synthetic benchmarks indicate average performance across single-core and multi-core CPU workloads, with a PassMark CPU score of 29573.87 and Geekbench multi-core score of 12813.0. In LLM inference tests, it achieves 243.2 tokens per second generation on a 135M parameter model and 12.06 tokens per second on a 7B parameter model. The combination of fractional GPU access and dedicated Intel compute makes this server suitable for virtual desktop infrastructure, light AI inference, media processing, and graphics-assisted development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      1.4Score
      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.
