      Server Description

      A general-purpose virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing, balanced memory allocation, and strong single-core performance for standard workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Amazon Web Services m6a.xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs (2 physical cores) powered by an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.6 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory at 3 GHz, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU capabilities, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics consistently fall into the lower percentiles. Consequently, the instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that prioritize single-threaded execution over parallel processing. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, basic text processing, and lightweight web serving, while being less optimal for database operations or multi-threaded compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.297Score
      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.
