      Server Description

      A high-frequency, network-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and high-speed memory bandwidth for demanding general-purpose workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m5zn.12xlarge is a general-purpose, network-optimized instance featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8252C processor running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 100 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong memory bandwidth and single-threaded gzip compression, both ranking in the top 25%, while general CPU and database operations perform in the average range. Conversely, LLM text generation benchmarks are weak, falling in the bottom 25%. This instance is optimized for high-frequency compute tasks, network-intensive applications, and memory-bound workloads that do not require local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.26Score
      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.
