      Server Description

      An arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, strong single-core performance, and efficient memory read bandwidth for non-x86 workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8g.2xlarge is a compute-optimized arm64 server instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of system memory, a 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and operates on the Nitro hypervisor without local storage or a GPU. Performance benchmarks show strong results in uncached large-block memory read bandwidth, single-threaded bzip3 decompression, and Geekbench single-core tests. However, it exhibits weaker performance in cryptographic operations and medium-sized LLM prompt processing. This instance is designed for compute-intensive workloads such as text processing, software compilation, and lightweight web serving that leverage arm64 architecture.

      Workload Profiles

      1.03Score
      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.
