    Server Description

    An ARMv9-powered general-purpose instance featuring dedicated cores, high-speed local NVMe SSD storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services m8gd.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by an 8-core ARMv9 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps, and 474 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers dedicated CPU allocation with a 36 MB L3 cache. Benchmarks show top-tier memory performance and strong single-threaded decompression, while general compute and database operations perform in the average range. The instance exhibits weaker performance in encryption and medium-sized LLM prompt processing. Given its balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and fast local storage, the m8gd.2xlarge is suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, software compilation, and database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1Score
    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.
