    Server Description

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

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5dn.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and a 3.1 GHz clock speed. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a bundled 300 GB NVMe SSD local instance store. Operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, this instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 8 Gbps and is optimized for EBS. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities, average memory bandwidth, and average database performance, though single-core performance is weak. It is suitable for balanced workloads such as database operations, software compilation, and general-purpose applications that benefit from local NVMe storage and optimized network throughput. The instance offers a cost-effective balance of compute, memory, and high-speed local storage for resource-dense applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.434Score
    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.
