CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, an NVIDIA T4 GPU, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for inference workloads.

GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g4dn.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance designed for graphics-intensive and machine learning workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor, it features 32 vCPUs, 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a single NVIDIA T4 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. The instance includes a 900 GB NVMe SSD local storage volume and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 50 Gbps. Benchmark data shows weak single-core CPU performance but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. Notably, the instance achieves top-tier performance in LLM inference for small and medium models, particularly in prompt processing and text generation. This resource profile makes the g4dn.8xlarge highly suitable for machine learning inference, graphics rendering, and network-optimized applications requiring local SSD storage.

Workload Profiles

1.25Score
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.
