    Server Description

    A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for high-speed scratch space.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c5d.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance utilizing the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8275CL x86_64 processor running at 3.4 GHz, offering 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance features 200 GB of bundled local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard compute, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-core stress-ng and multi-threaded bzip3 decompression performance fall into the bottom 25%. LLM inference on medium models is a significant bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 10%. This instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for workloads requiring a balance of dedicated compute and fast local scratch space, making it suitable for software compilation, static web serving, and moderate database tasks, while remaining less optimal for memory-heavy or large-scale AI workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.482Score
    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.
