      Server Description

      A dedicated single-core ARM64 instance providing a cost-efficient entry point for lightweight, single-threaded processing and basic utility workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c6g.medium is a compute-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated ARM64 core powered by an AWS Graviton2 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 2.0 GB of memory, 32 MB of L3 cache, and operates on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with no local storage. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU capabilities, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1493.38. However, its single-core design and low memory capacity result in lower-tier multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics, such as a Geekbench multi-core score of 933.0 and a large-block write speed of 9.83 GB/sec. Qualitatively, the c6g.medium provides a cost-efficient entry point for dedicated ARM64 compute resources. It is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and simple background utility tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.104Score
      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.
