      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A low-cost, burstable single-core virtual machine designed for lightweight development environments and low-traffic background applications.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.t5-lc1m2.small is a burstable, entry-level virtual machine instance utilizing the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with a single-core Intel Xeon 8163 x86_64 processor running at 2.5 GHz, 2.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage. The instance features a burstable CPU allocation model, making it highly cost-efficient for workloads with intermittent CPU demands. Benchmark results indicate lower-tier performance, with a Passmark CPU score of 1239.52 and a Redis SET throughput of 1.12 million operations per second. Lacking a dedicated GPU and baseline network bandwidth, this instance is designed for lightweight, non-resource-intensive applications. It is best suited for basic web serving, microservices, and development or testing environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.078Score
      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.
