      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An arm64 compute-optimized instance with dedicated Graviton cores, designed for lightweight single-threaded processing and ARM-native development workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8g.large is an arm64 compute-optimized instance powered by a 2.8 GHz AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor. It features 2 dedicated physical cores, 2 vCPUs, and 4.0 GB of system memory, operating on the Nitro hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. The instance does not include local storage or GPU hardware. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, alongside strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and software compilation speeds are relatively weak. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, single-threaded compute tasks, ARM-native development, and basic database operations, but it is not recommended for memory-intensive workloads or parallel multi-threaded processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.31Score
      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.
