      Server Description

      A single-core ARM64 instance offering dedicated compute resources and optimized networking for lightweight, single-threaded utility workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6gn.medium is a compute-optimized, network-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 ARM64 core running at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 2.0 GB of memory, 32 MB of L3 cache, and operates on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU execution but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results due to its single-vCPU configuration. It supports hardware-accelerated AES cryptography. This instance is a cost-effective option for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, including basic web serving, small-scale Redis caching, and ARM64 development or testing environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.101Score
      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.
