CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance combining dual AMD Radeon GPUs, local NVMe storage, and balanced multi-core performance for graphics-intensive workloads.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g4ad.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance designed for graphics-intensive workloads. It features 32 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor running at 3.0 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1200 GB local NVMe SSD. Graphics acceleration is delivered via two AMD Radeon Pro Navi V520 GPUs with 16 GB of total VRAM. In benchmark testing, the instance exhibits a poor single-core CPU performance profile, falling into the bottom 10%, but achieves average multi-core and memory bandwidth results, alongside a strong Passmark memory score in the top 25%. Lacking AVX-512 support, it is less suited for heavy vector math but performs reliably for moderate LLM inference and multi-threaded tasks. This instance is optimized for graphics rendering, game streaming, and database workloads requiring local high-speed storage.

Workload Profiles

1.21Score
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.
