    Server Description

    Compute-dense ARM instance featuring dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and balanced networking for cache and build workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance built on the 64-bit ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture using AWS Graviton processors. It features 8 dedicated physical cores running at 2.8 GHz, 16 GB of system RAM, and a bundled 474 GB local NVMe SSD instance store. Driven by the Nitro hypervisor, the server provides 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results place the instance in an average performance tier for general CPU processing, software compilation, static web serving, and memory bandwidth tests. However, performance drops on crypto-heavy tasks and large language model inference due to missing specialized instructions and discrete accelerators. The 1:2 vCPU-to-memory ratio combined with high-speed local storage yields a resource-dense configuration for temporary database processing, caching clusters, and automated build pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    1Score
    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.
