    Server Description

    A bare-metal ARMv9 server with 192 dedicated cores and 11.4 TB NVMe storage, optimized for high-throughput multi-threaded and database workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.metal-48xl is a bare-metal, compute-optimized server featuring 192 dedicated physical cores on the 2.7 GHz ARMv9 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 architecture. It is equipped with 384.0 GB of DDR5 memory, 11,400 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and 50 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds are average to poor. The high physical core count and substantial local storage capacity offer high resource density for parallel processing. This server is suited for multi-threaded applications, high-throughput database operations, software compilation, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    9.6Score
    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.
