      Server Description

      An arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores and high network bandwidth for efficient multi-threaded scale-out workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c6gn.2xlarge is an arm64 compute-optimized instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. Utilizing the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 8 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps, without local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 12130.94 and a static web serving throughput of 9.68 GB/sec. However, single-core and cryptographic capabilities are weaker, as evidenced by a Passmark encryption score of 1082.7. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for scale-out, multi-threaded workloads such as static web serving, database operations, and software compilation that benefit from dedicated ARM cores and high network throughput.

      Workload Profiles

      0.55Score
      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.
