    Server Description

    An ARM-based compute-optimized server featuring dedicated physical cores and high-speed local NVMe storage for multi-threaded workloads and database operations.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.2xlarge is an ARM64 compute-optimized server powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of memory, 474 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a 2 Gbps baseline network speed on the Nitro hypervisor. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 12133.14 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 5364.0. The instance excels in multi-threaded tasks, achieving 9.43 million Redis SET operations per second and 9.78 GB/sec in static web serving. However, single-core performance is a notable tradeoff, with a Geekbench single-core score of 930.0. This server is highly efficient for multi-threaded workloads, web serving, and database operations that leverage local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.552Score
    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.
