    Server Description

    An arm64 general-purpose instance combining sixty-four dedicated cores with high-capacity local NVMe storage for high-throughput multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.16xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by a 64-core AWS Graviton processor built on the arm64 Neoverse-N1 architecture. Operating at 2.5 GHz with dedicated physical cores, it features 256 GB of RAM, 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and 25 Gbps of baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results highlight strong multi-core CPU performance, high cached memory bandwidth, and exceptional throughput for Redis SET operations and static web serving. Conversely, single-core performance and single-threaded compression tasks are relatively weak, and the lack of AVX instructions limits complex vector math. This instance offers a balanced, cost-effective profile for multi-threaded workloads, high-throughput web serving, and database applications that benefit from fast local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    2.41Score
    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.
