      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM capacity and dedicated multi-core processing for database and caching workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r5.12xlarge is a memory-optimized server utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor. It features 48 vCPUs (24 physical cores) running at 3.1 GHz, paired with 384.0 GB of DDR4 memory, yielding 8.0 GB of RAM per core. The server does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, relying on network-attached storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth capabilities, contrasted by weak single-core performance. This hardware profile makes the r5.12xlarge highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads such as database operations, in-memory caching, and multi-threaded enterprise applications, offering a balanced resource density for memory-heavy tasks without the overhead of local NVMe drives.

      Workload Profiles

      1.6Score
      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.
