Server Description

An accelerated x86_64 server combining dedicated AMD EPYC processors, local NVMe storage, and NVIDIA L4 GPU capabilities for compute-intensive workloads.

GPU AcceleratedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

Amazon Web Services g6.16xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 64 dedicated vCPUs from an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.4 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of DDR4 memory. It integrates a single NVIDIA Ada Lovelace L4 GPU with 22 GB of VRAM and 1880 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the server delivers 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show top-tier performance in LLM inference for small and medium models, alongside strong multi-core CPU and database execution. However, text generation for large 70B models is weak due to single-GPU limits. This configuration is suited for medium-scale AI inference, ray tracing, software compilation, and database workloads.

Workload Profiles

2.1Score
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.
