      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal platform featuring 384 vCPUs and DDR5 memory, optimized for intensive multi-threaded computing and high-throughput networking.

      Compute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services c8i.metal-96xl is a bare-metal, compute-optimized server featuring 192 physical cores and 384 vCPUs powered by dedicated Intel Xeon 6975P-C processors at 3.9 GHz. It includes 768.0 GB of DDR5 memory, providing 2.0 GB of RAM per core, and operates with a 100 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The server does not include local storage or dedicated GPUs. Benchmark results place this instance in the top tier for multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-core performance and small-model LLM text generation speed are comparatively lower. Supported by advanced vector and matrix extensions, the hardware is designed for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, database operations, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      14.8Score
      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.
