      Server Description

      A bare-metal compute platform featuring high-speed networking and dense multi-core processing for demanding parallel and network-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5n.metal is a bare-metal, compute-optimized server featuring 72 vCPUs and 36 physical cores powered by Intel Xeon 8124M processors running at 3.4 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a high-speed 100 Gbps baseline network interface, though it lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs. Benchmarks indicate strong multi-core processing and memory read bandwidth, alongside high efficiency in software compilation and database operations. Conversely, single-core performance is average, and LLM text generation speeds are poor. This server is highly suited for network-bound workloads, distributed databases, high-performance computing, and parallelized build systems where bare-metal execution eliminates virtualization overhead.

      Workload Profiles

      2.3Score
      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.
