    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local NVMe SSD storage for memory-intensive database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r3.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor running at 2.5 GHz on the Xen hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 61.0 GB of RAM, and 160 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While single-core CPU benchmarks, such as Geekbench and stress-ng, place the instance in the lower performance tiers, its multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth consistently register in the average range. Specifically, memory read-only small block cached bandwidth reaches 386.23 GB/sec. Lacking a GPU and featuring a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, this instance is optimized for memory-dense workloads. It is best suited for database operations, caching systems, and memory-bound applications where high memory capacity is prioritized over high-speed single-threaded compute performance.

    Workload Profiles

    0.356Score
    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.
