      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m6a.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor with 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and a 3.6 GHz clock speed. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed by the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, while multi-core processing, software compilation, and database operations perform in the average tier. However, uncached large-block memory read and write bandwidths are weak, representing a notable hardware tradeoff. With a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps and a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance provides a standard resource density for general-purpose workloads. It is suited for applications such as static web serving, redis caching, and moderate database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.482Score
      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.
