    Server Description

    A dedicated single-core ARM64 instance featuring integrated NVMe SSD storage for efficient single-threaded processing and lightweight general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m9gd.medium is a general-purpose, ARM-based instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 physical core running at 3.3 GHz. It is equipped with 4.0 GB of memory, a 59 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and a 1 Gbps baseline network interface. Operating under the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers strong single-threaded performance, highlighted by top-tier bzip3 decompression and strong gzip compression benchmarks. However, its single-core design limits multi-core and parallel processing capabilities, as reflected in lower multi-core stress-ng and PassMark CPU scores. The bundled local NVMe storage provides efficient, low-latency temporary storage, making this instance a cost-effective choice for dedicated single-threaded workloads, lightweight web serving, and basic data processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.284Score
    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.
