      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM64 compute-optimized instance featuring eight dedicated physical cores and balanced memory bandwidth for compute-intensive, non-cryptographic workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c8g.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance utilizing the ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture with 8 dedicated physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it features 16.0 GB of RAM, 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong results in large-block read-only memory bandwidth and single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, the instance shows performance trade-offs, with weak results in CPU encryption tests and poor prompt processing speeds for medium-sized language models. Given its 2.0 GB of memory per core, this instance offers qualitative cost efficiency for compute-heavy, memory-lean workloads. It is best suited for software compilation, static web serving, and general-purpose compute tasks, while being less optimal for cryptography-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.02Score
      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.
