    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth for data-intensive workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.4xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 16 dedicated ARM64 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton Neoverse-V3 processors running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 64.0 GB of RAM (4.0 GB per core) and 950 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage, managed via the Nitro hypervisor. Operating with an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, the instance demonstrates top-tier performance in single-threaded data compression and memory bandwidth benchmarks, alongside strong database operations and static web serving throughput. Compute benchmarks like stress-ng and PassMark CPU scores sit in the average tier. This hardware profile offers high qualitative cost efficiency for workloads requiring a balance of dedicated ARM compute, fast local storage, and high memory throughput. It is highly suitable for database hosting, web serving, data compression, and medium-scale language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    2.49Score
    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.
