    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized platform featuring dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth for database workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.16xlarge is a compute-optimized server featuring 64 dedicated ARM64 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processors running at 2.8 GHz. Equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM and 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, this instance operates on the Nitro hypervisor with a 30 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows top-tier performance in multi-core processing, software compilation, memory bandwidth, and database operations, including Redis SET throughput. While it lacks x86-specific vector extensions like AVX, its high resource density and efficient ARM architecture offer strong qualitative cost efficiency for scale-out workloads. It is highly suited for multi-threaded databases, static web serving, and software compilation pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    4.84Score
    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.
