      Server Description

      A balanced x86_64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, strong single-core performance, and robust DDR4 memory capabilities.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m6a.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring a dedicated 32-vCPU AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.6 GHz and 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, this x86_64 server provides a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio with 4.0 GB of memory per core. It lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, relying on network-attached storage and a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and encryption capabilities, alongside strong memory scores, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. Large-model LLM prompt processing is a notable performance bottleneck. This instance is suited for general-purpose workloads, including database operations, software compilation, and static web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      1.4Score
      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.
