    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized server featuring dedicated physical cores and high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage for parallelized workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.12xlarge is a compute-optimized server featuring 48 dedicated physical cores on the ARMv8 AWS Graviton2 (Neoverse-N1) architecture running at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 96.0 GB of RAM, 2850 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 20 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance delivers strong multi-core CPU performance, as demonstrated by a stress-ng multi-core score of 72845.21. However, single-core performance is a key tradeoff, with geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression benchmarks falling into the weak and poor categories. The server provides average performance for memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving. It is best suited for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, and database applications that leverage local high-speed NVMe storage, while being less optimal for single-threaded tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.9Score
    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.
