    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance combining dedicated Graviton cores with high-speed local NVMe storage for database and web serving workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by 32 dedicated ARM64 AWS Graviton (Neoverse-V3) cores running at 2.8 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of memory (4.0 GB per core) and a bundled 1900 GB NVMe SSD instance store volume, operating on the Nitro hypervisor with 17 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data indicates top-tier performance in database operations, static web serving, and PassMark memory scores, alongside strong multi-core CPU and Redis SET performance. Conversely, single-core CPU execution and LLM inference speeds are average. The combination of dedicated ARMv9 cores and high-speed local NVMe storage provides a cost-efficient profile for resource-dense workloads. This instance is suited for database hosting, caching layers, web serving, and general-purpose enterprise applications requiring local scratch space.

    Workload Profiles

    3.97Score
    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.
