CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance combining dedicated AMD EPYC processing, local NVMe storage, and NVIDIA Ampere graphics for efficient machine learning inference.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g5.2xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance designed for graphics-intensive and machine learning workloads. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an AMD EPYC 7R32 CPU with 8 dedicated vCPUs, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 450 GB local NVMe SSD. The hardware profile is highlighted by a single NVIDIA Ampere A10G GPU with 22 GB of VRAM. While synthetic CPU benchmarks show modest performance, with stress-ng scores falling in the lower tiers, the instance excels in GPU-driven tasks. Notably, LLM inference benchmarks for 135M and 7B models rank in the top 10% for both prompt processing and text generation. This instance is highly suited for machine learning inference, ray tracing, and image processing workloads, offering a cost-effective balance of GPU acceleration and local NVMe storage.

Workload Profiles

0.434Score
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.
