      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly virtual server combining dedicated Intel Xeon processors with fractional NVIDIA T4 GPU acceleration for entry-level parallel computing.

      GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.vgn6i-m8-vws.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated virtual server instance running on the KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8163 processor featuring 10 dedicated vCPUs, 5 physical cores, and 46.0 GB of RAM. The instance includes a fractional NVIDIA T4 GPU (0.5x) with 8 GB of VRAM, but lacks local storage, utilizing a 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth instead. Benchmark results indicate weak single-core CPU performance, while multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth remain average. The hardware supports AVX and AVX512F instructions but lacks newer VNNI and AMX extensions. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring moderate GPU acceleration without the cost of a full GPU. It is best suited for light LLM inference on small models, image processing, ray tracing, and general-purpose tasks requiring hardware acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      0.47Score
      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.
