      Server Description

      An arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring forty-eight dedicated cores and high-speed networking for highly parallelized, network-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6gn.12xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 48 dedicated physical cores powered by the 2.5 GHz ARMv8 AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, this arm64 instance includes 96.0 GB of memory and a high baseline network bandwidth of 75 Gbps, though it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong multi-core capabilities, with stress-ng multi-core scoring in the top 25%, contrasted by weaker single-core and large-model LLM inference metrics. The instance is highly cost-efficient for parallelized, network-heavy workloads due to its dedicated core allocation and high network throughput. It is best suited for multi-threaded applications, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.9Score
      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.
