CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An accelerator-equipped virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores, local NVMe storage, and an NVIDIA L4 GPU for specialized workloads.

GPU AcceleratedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g6.2xlarge is an x86_64 virtual server built on the Nitro hypervisor, featuring 8 vCPUs from an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.4 GHz, 32.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 450 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. It includes a single NVIDIA Ada Lovelace L4 GPU with 22 GB of VRAM. Benchmarks indicate top-tier performance for LLM inference on small and medium models, alongside strong single-core CPU performance. However, uncached memory bandwidth for large blocks is a bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 25%. This instance provides a qualitatively cost-efficient profile for graphics-intensive tasks, ray tracing, and moderate machine learning inference workloads that benefit from dedicated GPU acceleration and local NVMe storage without requiring high baseline network speeds.

Workload Profiles

0.481Score
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.
