    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated physical cores and integrated NVMe SSD storage for balanced, low-latency workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by a 2.5 GHz AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 ARM64 processor. It features 4 dedicated physical cores, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 237 GB NVMe SSD instance store volume. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Computational benchmarks show average performance in stress-ng multi-core tests and large-block memory operations, though it exhibits weaker results in single-threaded decompression and LLM inference. The inclusion of local NVMe storage provides qualitative cost efficiency for applications requiring fast local read/write capabilities. This instance is suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.31Score
    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.
