    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64 general-purpose instance combining dedicated Graviton processors, high-speed memory bandwidth, and integrated local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an 8-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 processor running at 3.3 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, 474 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a 4 Gbps baseline network interface. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this arm64 instance delivers top-tier performance in single-threaded gzip compression and Passmark memory tests. However, it exhibits weaker performance in CPU encryption benchmarks and medium-model LLM prompt processing. The inclusion of local NVMe storage alongside balanced compute and memory resources makes this instance qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that require fast local scratch space. It is suited for database operations, static web serving, Redis caching, and lightweight text-generation tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.46Score
    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.
