      Server Description

      A dedicated general-purpose instance offering strong single-core performance and balanced memory for lightweight, single-threaded applications.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m6a.large is a general-purpose instance featuring an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.6 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro System, it provides 2 vCPUs (1 physical core with hyper-threading) and 8.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates strong single-core CPU performance, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are weak, falling into the bottom 10% to 25% of tested servers. This resource profile makes the m6a.large a cost-efficient option for lightweight, single-threaded applications, basic text processing, and low-traffic web serving. It is less suitable for memory-intensive databases, software compilation, or multi-threaded processing tasks due to physical core and memory bandwidth constraints.

      Workload Profiles

      0.167Score
      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.
