    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered general-purpose server featuring dedicated cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier multi-threaded and database performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.16xlarge is a general-purpose server powered by a 64-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 processor running at 3.3 GHz. It features 256 GB of RAM, 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage, and a 34 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance, database operations, and static web serving throughput. Memory bandwidth is highly efficient, with cached read-only operations ranking in the top tier. The combination of dedicated ARM cores and high-capacity local NVMe storage provides excellent resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for data-intensive workloads. It is highly suited for database deployments, Redis caching, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    6.47Score
    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.
