      Server Description

      An ARM64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores and high-speed networking for efficient scale-out workloads and web serving.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8gn.2xlarge is a compute-optimized, ARM64-based instance utilizing the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It is powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz with 16.0 GB of system memory, yielding a 2.0 GB per core ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but features a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks indicate average CPU capabilities, highlighted by a stress-ng multi-core score of 13646.63, and strong memory performance, including a PassMark memory score of 2866.41. It excels in single-threaded bzip3 decompression but shows weaker cryptographic performance. This instance is highly suitable for network-optimized, scale-out compute workloads, static web serving, software compilation, and Redis database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1Score
      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.
