    Server Description

    A high-memory x86_64 server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing and local NVMe storage for memory-intensive database and compilation workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services f2.6xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 7R13 processor with 24 vCPUs, 12 physical cores, and a 3.4 GHz clock speed. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 256.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a 940 GB local NVMe SSD, supported by a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and efficient text generation for small language models, while multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database tasks perform at average levels. Lacking a GPU, it struggles with large-scale model inference. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio and fast local storage make this instance highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    1.18Score
    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.
