      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, dedicated dual-vCPU virtual server designed for lightweight general-purpose workloads and basic web serving.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.sn2.medium is an entry-level, general-purpose virtual server built on the KVM hypervisor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core of an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM. The instance does not include local storage, GPU accelerators, or baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks place this server in the lower tiers, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1100.09 and a multi-core score of 1460.39. Memory bandwidth is also limited, measuring 10.22 GB/sec for uncached large blocks. Given its modest performance profile, the ecs.sn2.medium is a cost-efficient option for low-demand applications. It is best suited for basic web serving, lightweight background tasks, and small-scale database operations that do not require high-speed local storage or intensive parallel processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.1Score
      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.
