      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal platform featuring ninety-six dedicated AMD EPYC cores and fast DDR5 memory for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m8a.metal-24xl is a general-purpose bare-metal server powered by a 96-core AMD EPYC 9R45 processor running at 4.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 384.0 GB of high-speed DDR5 memory at 6 GHz, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB of RAM per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but provides a 40 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. In benchmark testing, the server achieves top-tier status in both single-core and multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations. It supports advanced vector and cryptographic instructions, making it highly efficient for compute-dense tasks. The bare-metal design eliminates virtualization overhead, though the absence of local storage requires network-attached alternatives. This configuration is optimized for high-concurrency workloads, including database management, web serving, software compilation, and CPU-based language model inference.

      Workload Profiles

      8.34Score
      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.
