    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, top-tier memory performance, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.2xlarge is an ARM64 general-purpose server powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, a 474 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and a baseline network speed of 4 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers top-tier memory performance, ranking in the top 10% of Passmark memory benchmarks, alongside strong single-threaded text processing and decompression capabilities. However, it exhibits lower performance in cryptographic tasks and medium-model LLM prompt processing. This resource profile offers balanced qualitative cost efficiency for workloads requiring dedicated CPU cores and fast local storage, such as database operations, static web serving, and general-purpose application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    1.02Score
    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.
