      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated sixteen-core compute instance offering balanced multi-threaded performance and a lean memory footprint for parallelized workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.sn1.3xlarge is an x86_64 compute-focused server featuring 16 dedicated Intel Xeon 8269CY vCPUs at 2.5 GHz and 32.0 GB of RAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU resources, and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal a significant tradeoff: single-core execution is weak, placing in the bottom 10% to 25% for single-threaded compression and Geekbench tests. However, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and static web serving throughput consistently rank in the average middle 50% tier. With a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for parallelized workloads like software compilation, multi-threaded decompression, and moderate database operations, while remaining less suitable for single-threaded or memory-heavy applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.577Score
      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.
