    Server Description

    A legacy virtual server combining moderate memory capacity and bundled local HDD storage for non-compute-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services m2.2xlarge is a second-generation instance featuring 4 dedicated Intel Xeon E5-2665 0 physical cores running at 2.4 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 34.0 GB of memory, a bundled 850 GB local HDD, and a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Managed via the Xen hypervisor, the instance lacks modern CPU instruction sets such as AVX and AES, resulting in weak to poor performance across CPU and cryptographic benchmarks. However, its memory subsystem achieves average performance in Passmark testing. Given its high memory-to-core ratio of 8.55 GB per core alongside lower compute performance, the m2.2xlarge is qualitatively cost-effective for legacy workloads, basic caching, and memory-intensive tasks that do not require high CPU throughput.

    Workload Profiles

    0.157Score
    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.
