    Server Description

    An arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores, balanced memory bandwidth, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an ARMv8-based AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor with 8 dedicated physical cores and 8 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of memory, a bundled 474 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth managed by 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, though single-threaded and cryptographic performance are relatively weak. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that benefit from dedicated ARM-based compute paired with high-speed local storage. It is best suited for database operations, static web serving, software compilation, and Redis deployments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.54Score
    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.
