CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A budget-friendly GPU instance featuring dedicated NVIDIA T4 graphics and local NVMe storage for efficient machine learning inference.

GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g4dn.xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance designed for graphics-intensive and machine learning workloads. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 4 vCPUs, 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. The hardware configuration includes a dedicated NVIDIA T4 GPU with 16 GB of VRAM and 125 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While standard CPU and memory benchmarks place this instance in the lower performance tiers, its GPU capabilities deliver top-tier performance for LLM inference prompt processing and strong text generation speeds on small to medium models. This makes the g4dn.xlarge a cost-effective choice for machine learning inference, graphics processing, and CUDA development, though it is less suited for CPU-bound general-purpose computing.

Workload Profiles

0.243Score
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.
