    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance combining high-capacity local HDD storage with multi-core processing for data-intensive and database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services h1.16xlarge is a storage-optimized server instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor at 2.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with the Xen hypervisor, it is configured with 256.0 GB of memory and 16,000 GB of local HDD storage, alongside a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data reveals poor single-core CPU performance, placing in the bottom 10%, but average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth performance. Notably, PassMark database operations perform in the top 25%, demonstrating strong efficiency for database workloads. The instance represents a cost-effective option for high-capacity storage needs, though the HDD storage and weak memory score present latency tradeoffs. It is best suited for distributed file systems, log processing, and data warehousing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
