    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores, integrated local NVMe SSD storage, and balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.8xlarge is an ARM64 compute-optimized instance powered by a 32-core AWS Graviton2 (Neoverse-N1) processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of memory (2.0 GB per core) and a 1900 GB local NVMe SSD instance store. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 11706.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 17314.07, though single-core metrics are weaker. The instance delivers solid database performance, with 40.61 million Redis SET operations per second and 33.11 GB/sec static web serving throughput. This configuration is efficient for multi-threaded, storage-intensive workloads such as databases, web serving, and software compilation, offering a balanced resource-to-cost ratio through its dedicated ARM cores and integrated high-speed local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
