    Server Description

    A dense storage instance featuring massive local HDD capacity and balanced memory for data-intensive processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3.2xlarge is a dense storage instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a substantial 11880 GB of local HDD storage. Operating at 3.1 GHz, the CPU delivers average multi-core performance but exhibits weak single-core benchmark results. The instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps and lacks GPU acceleration. Qualitatively, the d3.2xlarge offers high storage density, trading SSD-level speed for massive HDD capacity. This hardware profile is optimized for storage-intensive workloads, such as distributed file systems, log processing, and data warehousing, where capacity is prioritized over high-speed random I/O.

    Workload Profiles

    0.456Score
    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.
