    Server Description

    A compute-optimized ARM instance featuring dedicated physical cores, ultra-fast memory bandwidth, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.8xlarge is a compute-optimized instance built on a 32-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 ARMv9 processor operating at 2.8 GHz. Equipped with 64.0 GB of memory (2.0 GB per vCPU) and a dedicated physical core mapping without hyperthreading, the instance delivers high architectural density. Hardware resources include 1900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 15 Gbps. In benchmark testing, the instance exhibits top-tier memory bandwidth, reaching 384.64 GB/sec on uncached reads, and excels in database operations and Redis key-value processing. While single-core speeds and large-scale model inference performance remain average, the combination of dedicated ARM cores and direct NVMe storage provides excellent efficiency for IO-heavy computational tasks. Recommended workloads include high-throughput database servers, software build pipelines, web serving, and key-value datastores.

    Workload Profiles

    3Score
    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.
