      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, strong single-core performance, and a stable virtualized environment.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m6a.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 4 physical AMD EPYC 7R13 cores running at 3.6 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory, providing a balanced 4.0 GB of RAM per core, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance, though its multi-core capabilities and database operations remain average. A key performance tradeoff is its weak uncached memory bandwidth and limited medium-model LLM inference speeds. Qualitatively, the instance offers a cost-effective profile for balanced workloads that do not require high-speed local storage. It is well-suited for general-purpose applications, including static web serving, software compilation, and standard database operations.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.48Score
      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.
