      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio, designed for database operations and in-memory caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Amazon Web Services r5.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 64.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor at 3.1 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro System, this x86_64 instance offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, relying instead on network-attached storage and featuring a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities and memory bandwidth, though single-core processing and single-threaded compression tasks perform in the lower tier. This hardware profile makes the r5.2xlarge qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications that do not demand high single-thread compute. It is best suited for database operations, in-memory caching like Redis, and general web serving workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.441Score
      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.
