    Server Description

    A 96-core ARM-based bare-metal platform combining high multi-threaded compute density with direct NVMe instance storage for throughput-heavy workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.metal-24xl is a bare-metal compute-optimized instance built on 96 physical cores of AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processors operating at 2.8 GHz. Equipped with 192 GB of DDR5 memory and 5,700 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, this server delivers a 1:2 memory-to-vCPU ratio and a baseline network bandwidth of 40 Gbps. Benchmark results highlight top-tier performance in multi-core compute workloads, software compilation with Clang, memory read bandwidth, and high-concurrency database operations, including Redis SET throughput exceeding 199 million operations per second. While multi-threaded throughput ranks in the top 10%, single-core performance remains average, emphasizing parallel scaling efficiency over single-thread velocity. The server provides strong resource efficiency for compute-heavy and storage-bound workloads, making it well suited for distributed database clusters, parallel data processing, in-memory caching systems, and continuous integration software builds.

    Workload Profiles

    6.9Score
    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.
