    Server Description

    A budget-friendly, compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD processor cores and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for lightweight single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c5ad.large is a compute-optimized instance featuring 2 vCPUs and 4.0 GB of DDR4 memory, powered by an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor at 3.3 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Utilizing the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 75 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average performance in single-threaded tasks, such as gzip compression and Geekbench single-core tests, though multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database performance rank in the lower percentiles. This instance provides a cost-effective entry point for workloads requiring dedicated CPU allocation and fast local temporary storage. It is best suited for lightweight compute tasks, single-threaded batch processing, and basic web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.14Score
    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.
