      Server Description

      A high-density compute instance featuring sixty-four virtual cores and dedicated AMD EPYC processing for intensive multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6a.16xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.6 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, providing 2.0 GB of RAM per core, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Network performance is anchored by a 25 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmark results place this instance in the top 25% for multi-core CPU execution, software compilation, and Redis operations, while large-block memory bandwidth and text processing remain in the middle 50% tier. The hardware profile is optimized for compute-heavy tasks such as batch processing, software compilation, and web serving, offering a cost-efficient balance of high-density dedicated compute resources without the added expense of unneeded memory or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.28Score
      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.
