      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine offering steady multi-core performance and DDR4 memory for standard enterprise workloads without specialized hardware.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor. It delivers 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory, with a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps and no local storage. Benchmark results place its multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and static web serving capabilities in the average tier, while single-core processing and complex tasks like image processing and medium-model LLM inference show weaker performance. This resource profile provides a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio, making it qualitatively cost-effective for standard enterprise applications. It is suited for workloads such as database operations, web serving, and software compilation that do not require specialized hardware accelerators or high single-core speeds.

      Workload Profiles

      0.44Score
      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.
