    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized server featuring dedicated cores, fast local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth for data-intensive workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.4xlarge is an ARM64 compute-optimized server featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of memory, 950 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage, and an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth managed by the Nitro hypervisor. Benchmarks reveal top-tier memory performance, with strong large-block memory read and write speeds alongside highly efficient multi-threaded bzip3 decompression. While database operations and small-model LLM inference perform reliably, the server exhibits weaker performance in prompt processing for medium 7B LLM models. This hardware profile delivers qualitative cost efficiency for compute-heavy tasks requiring fast local storage. It is highly suitable for database hosting, data compression, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.74Score
    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.
