      Server Description

      An entry-level, single-core ARM64 instance offering dedicated compute resources and hardware-accelerated cryptography for lightweight workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6g.medium is a compute-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated ARM64 vCPU powered by an AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 2.0 GB of system memory, 32 MB of L3 cache, and operates on the AWS Nitro hypervisor. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. In benchmark testing, the c6g.medium delivers average single-core CPU performance, though its single-core design limits multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities to the lower tier. It supports hardware-accelerated AES cryptography but lacks advanced vector extensions. This instance provides a cost-efficient, dedicated resource profile for lightweight ARM64 workloads, making it suitable for basic web serving, simple background tasks, and software development or testing environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.1Score
      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.
