    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for diverse workloads.

    Amazon Web Services m5d.12xlarge is a general-purpose instance built on the Nitro hypervisor. It features 48 vCPUs, 24 physical Intel Xeon 8175M cores running at 3.1 GHz, and 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance includes 1800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show weak single-core capabilities but average multi-core and memory bandwidth results. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads that benefit from fast local storage, such as database operations, static web serving, and multi-threaded data processing. It is less suited for single-threaded tasks or large-scale language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.6Score
    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.
