      Server Description

      A dedicated eight-core compute instance featuring high-speed DDR5 memory, optimized for single-threaded processing and text-heavy workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c7a.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor with 8 dedicated physical cores and 8 vCPUs running at 3.7 GHz. It includes 16.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 5 GHz, yielding 2.0 GB per core, and operates on the Nitro hypervisor with a 3 Gbps baseline network speed and no local storage. Performance benchmarks highlight strong single-core capabilities, including a Geekbench single-core score of 1994.0 and a top-tier text processing score of 2762.0. However, memory limitations are evident, with uncached large-block read bandwidth falling into the bottom 25% at 38.63 GB/sec. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for CPU-bound applications but less suited for memory-intensive tasks. It is best utilized for text processing, single-threaded decompression, static web serving, and small-model machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      0.68Score
      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.
