      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated general-purpose instance offering a balanced resource profile for moderate workloads, development environments, and basic application hosting.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.sn2.large is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Baseline network bandwidth is rated at 1 Gbps. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the lower tiers, with stress-ng CPU performance and memory bandwidth consistently scoring in the bottom 25% or bottom 10% of tested hardware. Consequently, the ecs.sn2.large is best suited for moderate, non-intensive workloads such as development environments, low-traffic web servers, and basic application hosting where dedicated CPU resources are required without the need for high-performance computing or high-speed local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.189Score
      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.
