    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5ad.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by a 32-vCPU AMD EPYC 7571 processor running at 2.5 GHz on the Nitro hypervisor. It features 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory and 1200 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, offering a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. While single-core benchmarks place in the bottom 10%, its multi-core capabilities, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average tier. The bundled high-speed local storage provides qualitative cost efficiency for resource-dense applications. This instance is suited for general-purpose applications, database operations, static web serving, and multi-threaded processing tasks that benefit from fast local temporary storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.82Score
    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.
