Server Description
A dedicated AMD EPYC instance featuring an NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU for entry-level accelerated computing and graphics workloads.
GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose
Alibaba Cloud ecs.sgn8ia-m4.2xlarge is a KVM-based virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9T34 processor running at 3.4 GHz. The instance is equipped with 32.0 GB of system memory, yielding 4.0 GB per core. For hardware acceleration, it includes a single NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU with 4 GB of VRAM. This server does not feature any local storage, relying entirely on network-attached storage options, and operates with a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Given the dedicated CPU allocation and entry-level GPU acceleration, this instance is configured for workloads such as lightweight machine learning inference, video transcoding, and graphics rendering. The lack of local storage and moderate network bandwidth represent key tradeoffs for data-intensive applications.

Workload Profiles
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.
Precomputed compound score for CI/CD Build 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% Geekbench Clang compilation (multi-core), 10% Geekbench Clang compilation (single-core), 20% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 5% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark compression, 5% Brotli compression (multi-core, level 0), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Build performance is mainly driven by multi-core compilation throughput, but also bundles single-core compilation speed and general CPU performance, multi-core compression and text/scripting processing.
Precomputed compound score for Compute Heavy Applications 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: 15% stress-ng div16 best-N cores, 10% stress-ng div16 single core, 20% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 15% PassMark floating point, 15% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 10% PassMark integer math, 5% PassMark physics simulation. Rationale for component selection: Number-crunching workload augmenting raw CPU performance stressing, general CPU performance benchmarks, memory bandwidth, and pure math computation speed like floating point, integer, SIMD (AVX/SSE/FMA) operations.
Precomputed compound score for Data Analysis 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: 70% PassMark CPU Mark (composite), 10% Gzip compression (single-core, level 5), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 64 MB), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite). Rationale for component selection: Data analysis and ETL workloads are memory-bandwidth-bound and CPU-throughput-driven. The profile combines general CPU performance and memory bandwidth/latency as the primary drivers, supplemented by single-core compression speed as a proxy for serialisation-heavy ETL tasks.
Precomputed compound score for LLM Inference 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: 15% LLM text generation (SmolLM-135M, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (SmolLM-135M, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama 7B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama 7B, 512 tok), 15% LLM text generation (Llama-3.3 70B, 128 tok), 15% LLM prompt processing (Llama-3.3 70B, 512 tok), 5% Memory bandwidth (read, 256 MB), 2% PassMark AVX/SSE/FMA (SIMD), 2% PassMark floating point. Rationale for component selection: VRAM and memory-bandwidth-bound LLM inference workload, using direct LLM speed benchmarks at three model sizes, and supplementing with raw memory bandwidth and SIMD performance benchmarks.
Precomputed compound score for Web Server 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: 30% Static web RPS (1 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% Static web RPS (64 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% Static web throughput (256 KiB, 8 conn/vCPU), 20% OpenSSL AES-256-CBC (16 kB blocks), 5% Gzip compression (multi-core, level 5), 5% PassMark string sorting. Rationale for component selection: Primary workloads drivers are single-process static HTTP serving speed and throughput, text processing, TLS termination, and asset compression.
