    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance combining dedicated Graviton cores with high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage for memory-intensive and database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.12xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 48 dedicated ARM64 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton Neoverse-V3 processors running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 192.0 GB of memory, 2850 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 25 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers strong multi-core CPU performance and top-tier memory bandwidth. Benchmark results highlight exceptional database operations, Redis SET throughput, and static web serving capabilities. However, sequential text generation for LLM inference shows a performance tradeoff, rating as poor. The qualitative cost efficiency of this instance is enhanced by its bundled high-speed local storage and balanced resource allocation. It is suited for database hosting, caching layers, static web serving, and general-purpose workloads requiring high-speed local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    5.28Score
    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.
