      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose x86 cloud instance featuring eight dedicated virtual cores and thirty-two gigabytes of memory for everyday application workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5a.2xlarge is a general-purpose cloud server powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7571 processor running at 2.5 GHz under the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It features 4 physical cores supplying 8 dedicated vCPUs with simultaneous multithreading, alongside 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory operating at 3 GHz, maintaining a standard 1:4 CPU-to-memory ratio. The instance lacks local ephemeral storage and relies on external storage options, while offering a baseline network speed of 2 Gbps. Synthetic benchmarks reveal average results for PassMark CPU and memory scores alongside encryption performance, though single-core compute and uncached memory bandwidth fall in lower benchmark percentiles. The hardware offers predictable resource density for cost-sensitive environments. Lacking AVX-512 support, the m5a.2xlarge serves general-purpose application tiers, moderate web serving, Redis caching, microservice hosting, and lightweight software compilation tasks requiring predictable dedicated core allocations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.29Score
      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.
