    Server Description

    An arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, integrated NVMe SSD local storage, and balanced performance for database and web serving workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.xlarge is an arm64 compute-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated physical cores on an AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 ARMv9 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM, a 237 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, and a baseline network speed of 2 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this server delivers average performance in stress-ng and Geekbench suites, with strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression speeds of 14.18 GB/sec. However, it shows weak performance in Passmark CPU encryption and extended instructions. The instance is qualitatively cost-effective for ARM-native workloads requiring fast local storage, such as static web serving, Redis key-value databases, and general database operations, while being less optimal for LLM inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.572Score
    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.
