    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, DDR4 memory, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5d.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8175M processor running at 3.1 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 1200 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps. While single-core benchmark results are weak, the instance delivers average multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations. This hardware profile makes it a balanced choice for multi-threaded applications, web serving, and database workloads that benefit from high-speed local storage without requiring specialized GPU acceleration.

    Workload Profiles

    1.22Score
    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.
