    Server Description

    A balanced ARM64 platform combining dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores with high-speed local NVMe storage for database and multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.8xlarge is a general-purpose ARM64 instance featuring 32 dedicated physical cores on the AWS Neoverse-V2 ARMv9 architecture running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 128 GB of RAM and a bundled 1900 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with a 15 Gbps baseline network. Benchmarks highlight top-tier memory write bandwidth, excellent multi-core Geekbench scores, and superior database operation throughput. Conversely, single-core execution and large-scale LLM inference remain average to weak. This hardware profile offers high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency by combining dedicated ARM compute with high-speed local storage, making it highly suitable for database hosting, Redis caching, multi-threaded software compilation, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    2.8Score
    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.
