    Server Description

    An entry-level ARM64 compute instance featuring dedicated single-core performance and low-latency local NVMe SSD storage.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c6gd.medium is an ARM64 compute-optimized instance powered by a single-core AWS Graviton2 Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 1 dedicated vCPU, 2.0 GB of system memory, and a bundled 59 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, all running on the AWS Nitro hypervisor. Benchmark data indicates average single-core CPU performance, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the lower percentiles due to the single-core limitation. The instance lacks advanced vector extensions but supports hardware AES cryptography. Qualitatively, this server offers a highly cost-efficient entry point for ARM-native applications requiring low-latency local storage. It is best suited for lightweight web serving, basic database operations, and single-threaded utility tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.1Score
    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.
