CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A GPU-accelerated instance combining dedicated AMD EPYC processors, an NVIDIA A10G GPU, and local NVMe storage for parallel computing workloads.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g5.8xlarge is a GPU-accelerated instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs from an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor running at 3.3 GHz, 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a single NVIDIA Ampere A10G GPU with 22 GB of VRAM. It includes 900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. While single-core CPU benchmarks place in the bottom 10% and multi-core CPU performance sits in the middle 50% average, the instance excels in memory performance and GPU-driven tasks. Specifically, LLM inference speeds for small and medium models rank in the top 10% tier. This hardware profile is suited for workloads requiring GPU acceleration, such as machine learning inference, ray tracing, and database operations utilizing local NVMe storage.

Workload Profiles

1.22Score
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.
