      Server Description

      An entry-level ARM64 instance featuring a dedicated single-core processor and balanced memory for lightweight, single-threaded utility workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8gb.medium is a general-purpose server featuring a single-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 1 dedicated vCPU, 4.0 GB of system memory, and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no local storage or GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show average single-core CPU performance and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are low due to the single-vCPU limitation. This entry-level instance provides a qualitative balance of resources for lightweight, single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for basic web serving, text processing, and low-traffic development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      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.
