CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance featuring dedicated NVIDIA T4 graphics, local NVMe storage, and high-speed networking for machine learning inference.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & Database

Amazon Web Services g4dn.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance optimized for graphics-intensive and machine learning workloads. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs, 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 50 Gbps. Hardware acceleration is provided by a single NVIDIA Turing T4 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM, complemented by 900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While single-core CPU benchmarks are relatively weak, the instance delivers average multi-core performance and top-tier results in LLM inference, particularly for small and medium models. This hardware profile makes the g4dn.8xlarge highly cost-efficient for machine learning inference, graphics rendering, and video transcoding workloads that benefit from local high-speed storage and dedicated GPU acceleration.

Workload Profiles

1.24Score
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.
