    Server Description

    An ARM64 storage-optimized platform combining dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe SSD storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    The Amazon Web Services i8g.2xlarge is an ARM64 storage-optimized server instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of memory and a bundled 1875 GB NVMe SSD for high-speed local storage, managed via the Nitro hypervisor. Benchmark results highlight top-tier memory performance, with a Passmark memory score in the top 10% and cached read bandwidth reaching 924.57 GB/sec. Single-threaded bzip3 decompression and text processing also perform strongly in the top 25%. However, cryptographic encryption and medium-model LLM prompt processing show lower relative performance. This instance is highly efficient for storage-intensive applications, Redis databases, static web serving, and memory-bound workloads requiring dedicated physical cores and fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.06Score
    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.
