      Server Description

      A single-core ARMv9 instance designed for lightweight, single-threaded workloads requiring dedicated compute resources with a minimal memory footprint.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c8gb.medium is a compute-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 ARMv9 core running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 2.0 GB of memory and no local storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core capabilities, with single-threaded gzip compression in the middle 50% and bzip3 decompression reaching the top 25%. However, the single-core architecture limits multi-threaded performance, placing multi-core stress-ng and PassMark CPU scores in the bottom 10%. Memory bandwidth is also limited, with large-block write speeds in the bottom 10%. This instance represents a low-resource, entry-level compute option, qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for basic scripting, simple web serving, and minor data compression workloads that do not require multi-core scaling or high memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.161Score
      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.
