      Server Description

      An entry-level, dedicated arm64 instance featuring balanced memory-to-core allocation for lightweight general-purpose workloads and single-threaded utility tasks.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8gb.large is a general-purpose instance featuring 2 dedicated arm64 physical cores powered by an AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 8.0 GB of RAM, a 36 MB L3 cache, and a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps, operating on the Nitro hypervisor without local storage. Performance benchmarks reveal a clear tradeoff: single-core execution is average, highlighted by a strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression rate of 14.33 GB/sec, whereas multi-core and memory write speeds are weak. Passmark database operations perform at an average level, but cryptographic operations and multi-threaded processing are poor. This resource profile makes the instance suitable for lightweight general-purpose workloads, basic text processing, and single-threaded utility tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.292Score
      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.
