      Server Description

      A dedicated single-core ARM64 compute instance designed for lightweight single-threaded workloads, microservices, and cost-efficient development environments.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Amazon Web Services c8g.medium is a compute-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 ARM64 core running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 2.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides a 1 Gbps baseline network speed and lacks local storage or GPU hardware. Benchmarks show average single-core CPU performance and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, though memory bandwidth and multi-threaded capabilities are limited by its single-vCPU configuration. This instance offers a cost-effective entry point for ARM64 development, lightweight single-threaded tasks, microservices, and basic web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.183Score
      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.
