CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated platform combining four NVIDIA Ampere GPUs and local NVMe storage for demanding parallel computing and machine learning inference.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g5.12xlarge is a graphics-intensive server powered by the Nitro hypervisor and an AMD EPYC 7R32 x86_64 processor with 48 vCPUs and 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory. It integrates four NVIDIA Ampere A10G GPUs with 89 GB of total VRAM and 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, backed by 40 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show a clear tradeoff: single-core CPU performance ranks in the bottom 10%, whereas GPU-driven LLM inference for prompt processing and text generation consistently reaches top-tier levels. Passmark memory and CPU encryption performance also rank in the top 25%. This configuration provides high resource density for workloads like large language model inference, multi-threaded data processing, and graphics rendering, offering a consolidated alternative to multi-node clusters.

Workload Profiles

1.67Score
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.
