    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose server featuring dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier database and compilation performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.8xlarge is an ARM64 general-purpose server powered by 32 dedicated physical cores of the AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 processor running at 3.3 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of RAM, a bundled 1900 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, and 17 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier performance in software compilation, database operations, static web serving, and single-threaded data compression. While large-block memory bandwidth and LLM inference speeds remain average, its dedicated core design and high-speed local storage offer excellent resource density. This server is recommended for database hosting, CI/CD compilation pipelines, web serving, and high-throughput data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.9Score
    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.
