    Server Description

    An x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, integrated NVMe SSD storage, and balanced multi-core performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5dn.4xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance powered by the Nitro hypervisor, featuring 16 vCPUs and 8 physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz. It is configured with 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory, a 600 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, and a baseline network bandwidth of 16 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show a clear distinction between single-core operations, which rank in the lower tier, and multi-core operations, which consistently perform in the average tier. This average performance tier extends to memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving. The instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for resource-balanced workloads requiring fast local storage and moderate network throughput. It is suitable for database operations, multi-threaded applications, static web serving, and software compilation tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.77Score
    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.
