    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-speed local NVMe storage, and optimized network performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5dn.8xlarge is a general-purpose, network and EBS-optimized instance powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 32 vCPUs, 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and 1200 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating at 3.1 GHz, the CPU supports AVX-512 instructions. While single-core benchmarks show weaker performance, multi-core and memory bandwidth tests consistently rank in the average tier. With a baseline network bandwidth of 25 Gbps and no integrated GPU, this instance is designed for balanced workloads. It is well-suited for database operations, multi-threaded data processing, static web serving, and software compilation where local high-speed storage and reliable network throughput are required.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
