    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An arm64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, fast single-threaded compression, and local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services m9gd.large is an arm64 general-purpose instance powered by a 3.3 GHz AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 processor with 2 dedicated physical cores and 2 vCPUs. It features 8.0 GB of memory, a 118 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and a 1 Gbps baseline network speed. Performance benchmarks show top-tier single-threaded capabilities, with gzip compression at 36.33 GB/sec and bzip3 decompression at 17.2 GB/sec, alongside strong PassMark memory performance. However, multi-core scaling is weak, as reflected in its stress-ng multi-core and PassMark CPU scores. This instance provides a cost-effective, balanced hardware profile for workloads that benefit from local NVMe storage and single-threaded efficiency, such as lightweight database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and basic utility scripting.

    Workload Profiles

    0.49Score
    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.
