    Server Description

    A compact ARM64 instance featuring a dedicated Graviton processor and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for lightweight workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.medium is a general-purpose instance powered by a dedicated 2.5 GHz AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 ARM64 processor. It features 1 vCPU, 4.0 GB of memory, and 59 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage managed via the Nitro hypervisor. While single-core performance is moderate with a stress-ng score of 1493.49, the single-vCPU configuration limits multi-threaded capabilities, placing multi-core benchmarks in the lower tier. The instance delivers a Redis SET throughput of 1.18 million operations per second and static web serving at 1.15 GB/sec. The m6gd.medium represents a resource-efficient option for ARM64 development, combining dedicated compute resources with low-latency local storage. It is highly suited for lightweight workloads such as microservices, development environments, and small-scale caching applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.1Score
    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.
