    Server Description

    A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, DDR4 memory, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for balanced workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services c5d.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 4 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8275CL processor running at 3.4 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a 200 GB local NVMe SSD instance store. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers average performance across standard benchmarks, including Geekbench multi-core, Passmark CPU, and Redis SET operations. However, it displays weaker performance in single-core stress tests and multi-threaded bzip3 decompression. The system lacks GPU acceleration and exhibits poor performance in LLM inference tasks. With a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps, this instance is best suited for workloads that benefit from dedicated compute resources and fast local scratch storage, such as software compilation, database operations, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.48Score
    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.
