    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, balanced memory, and integrated high-speed NVMe local storage for efficient workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.xlarge is a general-purpose, ARM64-based instance powered by a 2.8 GHz AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 4 dedicated physical cores and 16.0 GB of system memory. The instance features a bundled 237 GB NVMe SSD local instance store and a baseline network speed of 2 Gbps. Benchmark results place its compute and memory performance in the average tier, highlighted by a strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression speed of 14.26 GB/sec and a Redis throughput of 9.34 million SET operations per second. However, it shows weaker results in encryption and LLM inference tasks. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring local scratch space, making it suitable for static web serving, database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    0.587Score
    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.
