    Server Description

    A dedicated ARM64 compute-optimized instance featuring high-speed local NVMe storage and balanced multi-core performance for database and compilation workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.8xlarge is a compute-optimized, ARM64-based server instance powered by a 32-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of system memory and is bundled with 1900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 48571.1 and strong database capabilities, including 40.61 million Redis SET operations per second. However, single-core performance is weaker, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 958.0. Qualitatively, the custom ARM architecture offers excellent resource density and cost-effective physical core allocation. This instance is highly suited for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations requiring fast local 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.
