      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated eight-core compute-optimized virtual server designed for predictable CPU performance, software compilation, and lightweight database operations.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.u1-c1m2.2xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores at 2.5 GHz and 16.0 GB of RAM. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard compute and memory tasks, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 7706.71 and a Redis SET throughput of 7.82 million operations per second. While it handles small-scale language model inference and static web serving efficiently, performance drops significantly on larger 7B parameter models. The instance is best suited for dedicated CPU-bound tasks, software compilation, and lightweight database operations where local storage is not a primary requirement.
