      Server Description

      A memory-optimized instance featuring 512 GB of DDR4 RAM and 64 vCPUs for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r5.16xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz. It is equipped with 512.0 GB of DDR4 memory, providing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio, but lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs. The instance operates on the Nitro hypervisor and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 20 Gbps. Benchmark data shows strong memory bandwidth for large blocks, with read speeds of 216.36 GB/sec and write speeds of 95.17 GB/sec, while single-core CPU performance remains weak. Multi-core performance and database operations fall within the average range. This instance is designed for memory-intensive workloads, such as database operations and caching layers, where large memory capacity is prioritized over raw single-threaded compute power or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.18Score
      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.
