CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A budget-friendly GPU instance featuring local NVMe storage and dedicated hardware acceleration for entry-level machine learning inference workloads.

GPU AcceleratedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

Amazon Web Services g4dn.xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance configured with 4 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor, 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a 125 GB local NVMe SSD. It features a single NVIDIA T4 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. While standard CPU, memory, and database benchmarks place this instance in the bottom 25% of performance, its GPU capabilities deliver top-tier results for small and medium LLM inference tasks. Specifically, prompt processing for 135M and 7B models ranks in the top 10%. This instance represents a cost-efficient entry point for GPU-accelerated workloads, balancing local NVMe storage and dedicated graphics hardware. It is best suited for machine learning inference, graphics-intensive applications, and lightweight GPU development rather than general-purpose compute tasks.

Workload Profiles

0.254Score
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.
