      Server Description

      A network-optimized general-purpose server featuring sixty-four virtual cores, high-speed memory bandwidth, and seventy-five gigabits per second baseline network throughput.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5n.16xlarge is a general-purpose, network-optimized instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz with a 35 MB L3 cache. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 256.0 GB of DDR4 memory running at 3 GHz and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 75 Gbps, though it lacks local storage and GPU hardware. Benchmarks reveal a contrast between weak single-core performance and strong large-block memory bandwidth. Multi-core processing, static web serving, and database operations perform in the average tier. This hardware profile is suited for network-bound, multi-threaded workloads such as distributed database nodes, static web serving, and general-purpose applications requiring high network throughput without local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.2Score
      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.
