      Server Description

      An arm64 general-purpose instance with dedicated Graviton cores and balanced memory, optimized for network-reliant workloads without local storage.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8gn.xlarge is a general-purpose, network and EBS-optimized instance powered by an arm64 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor. It features 4 dedicated physical cores running at 2.8 GHz, 16.0 GB of system memory, and a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no local storage or GPU hardware. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the average tier for most general compute, memory bandwidth, and web serving tasks, though it demonstrates strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression. Conversely, it exhibits weak performance in cryptographic encryption and extended CPU instructions, as well as limited capabilities for local large language model inference. The instance is best suited for general-purpose workloads, static web serving, and database operations that require dedicated CPU allocation but do not demand high-performance local storage or intensive cryptographic processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.527Score
      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.
