      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized platform featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and DDR5 memory for demanding multi-core processing workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c7a.12xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 48 dedicated physical cores and 48 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor running at 3.7 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 96.0 GB of 5 GHz DDR5 memory, offering a 2.0 GB per core ratio, with no local storage or GPU resources. Network performance is supported by a 19 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmarks indicate top-tier multi-core CPU performance, software compilation, and image processing, along with strong memory bandwidth and cryptographic capabilities. The instance represents a highly efficient choice for CPU-bound tasks, though the 2.0 GB RAM per core ratio and lack of local storage present tradeoffs for memory-intensive applications. It is ideal for software compilation, image processing, and medium-scale LLM inference.

      Workload Profiles

      2.94Score
      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.
