    Server Description

    An ARMv9 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for efficient single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.large is a compute-optimized instance featuring 2 dedicated ARMv9 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processors running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 4.0 GB of memory, 118 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers strong single-threaded performance, as evidenced by its bzip3 decompression benchmarks, and average single-core CPU and text processing capabilities. However, multi-core performance and memory write bandwidth are relatively weak. The inclusion of local NVMe storage makes this instance qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring fast local scratch space. It is best suited for lightweight database operations, single-threaded processing, and basic web serving tasks that benefit from dedicated ARM cores and local SSD storage without requiring extensive multi-core scaling.

    Workload Profiles

    0.32Score
    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.
