      Server Description

      An x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a balanced multi-core profile for compute-focused workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5a.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed by the Nitro hypervisor, this server provides dedicated CPU resources at 3.3 GHz but lacks local storage, relying on network-attached storage and a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities and standard memory bandwidth for cached operations, though single-core performance and uncached memory bandwidth represent clear tradeoffs, ranking in the bottom 10% and 25% respectively. This resource profile makes the instance a cost-efficient option for multi-threaded workloads that do not require high memory-to-CPU ratios. It is suited for applications such as static web serving, multi-threaded decompression, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.705Score
      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.
