    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance combining sixty-four dedicated cores with high-speed local NVMe storage and top-tier memory bandwidth.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.16xlarge is a general-purpose, ARM64-based instance powered by 64 dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. It features 256 GB of system memory and 3,800 GB of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage, operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with a 30 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate top-tier performance in memory bandwidth, multi-core processing, software compilation, and database operations, with Redis SET operations achieving 134.49 million operations per second. While single-core performance is average, the instance's high core density and integrated local storage provide excellent qualitative cost efficiency for multi-threaded tasks. This server is highly suited for high-throughput databases, caching layers, static web serving, and CI/CD compilation workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    4.9Score
    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.
