      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and steady memory bandwidth for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.u1-c1m4.8xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores operating at 2.5 GHz and 128.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU hardware, the instance relies on network-attached storage and features a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks place this instance in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 12613.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 30903.16. It exhibits strong performance in small-model LLM text generation, achieving 297.4 tokens per second. The lack of local storage is a key tradeoff, but its dedicated CPU allocation and balanced resource ratio provide qualitative cost efficiency for non-storage-intensive workloads. It is best suited for static web serving, Redis caching, database operations, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.54Score
      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.
