      Server Description

      An ARM-based, network-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores for balanced multi-threaded workloads and efficient web serving.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6gn.2xlarge is a compute-optimized, network-optimized instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton2 Neoverse-N1 ARMv8 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of RAM, providing 2.0 GB per core, and lacks local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5435.0 and 9.2 million Redis SET operations per second, though single-core and cryptographic performance are weak. The instance offers qualitative cost efficiency for ARM-compatible workloads, making it suitable for static web serving, software compilation, and database operations that benefit from dedicated physical cores and high network throughput rather than massive memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.551Score
      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.
