CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance featuring AMD processors, dedicated local NVMe storage, and quad graphics units for parallel processing workloads.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g4ad.16xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance featuring 64 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor at 3.0 GHz, 256.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and four AMD Radeon Pro Navi V520 GPUs with 32 GB of total VRAM. It includes 2400 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a 25 Gbps baseline network speed. Performance benchmarks show strong results in ray tracing, memory operations, and CPU encryption, though single-core CPU performance and large-scale LLM text generation are weak. This hardware profile is designed for graphics-intensive applications, ray tracing, and multi-threaded processing workloads.

Workload Profiles

2.1Score
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.
