      Server Description

      An ARM64 compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Graviton cores and high-speed networking for efficient web serving and compilation workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8gn.2xlarge is an ARM64 compute-optimized instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton processor running at 2.8 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it features 16.0 GB of RAM, 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and no local storage. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 1897.0 and high memory bandwidth. However, the instance exhibits weak performance in CPU encryption tests and medium-model LLM prompt processing. Given its 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated core allocation, the c8gn.2xlarge is qualitatively cost-efficient for scale-out compute workloads. It is highly suited for software compilation, text processing, static web serving, and Redis database operations, though workloads requiring local NVMe storage or heavy cryptographic processing may face limitations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.01Score
      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.
