      Server Description

      A general-purpose instance featuring sixty-four virtual cores and balanced memory capacity for multi-threaded enterprise workloads and database operations.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5.16xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8175M processor running at 3.1 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 256.0 GB of DDR4 memory but lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, offering a baseline network bandwidth of 20 Gbps. Benchmark data shows a clear trade-off: single-core performance and single-threaded compression tasks are weak, falling into the bottom 25%, while multi-core performance, database operations, and web serving throughput achieve average results. Large-block read-only memory bandwidth is a notable strength, ranking in the top 25%. This instance is suited for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, and database operations that benefit from its balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, though it is less efficient for single-threaded applications or intensive LLM text generation.

      Workload Profiles

      2.17Score
      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.
