    Server Description

    A high-capacity dense storage instance featuring massive local HDD capacity and balanced multi-core performance for sequential data processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d2.4xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for high-capacity local storage workloads. It features an Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 122.0 GB of memory. The instance is equipped with 24,576 GB of local HDD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Benchmark data shows poor single-core performance, but average multi-core CPU and memory read bandwidth capabilities. While write bandwidth and single-threaded compression tasks are relatively weak, the instance provides a high volume of local storage per resource unit. It is best suited for storage-intensive applications, distributed file systems, log processing, and data warehousing workloads that require massive sequential disk throughput without the need for high-speed SSDs or intensive single-core compute performance.

    Workload Profiles

    0.473Score
    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.
