      Server Description

      A bare-metal server featuring 96 virtual cores and 768 GB of memory optimized for large-scale database and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r5.metal is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server designed for resource-intensive enterprise workloads. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8175M processor offering 96 vCPUs, 48 physical cores, and 768.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The server lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, but features a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows strong multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and excellent database execution speeds, with Redis SET operations reaching 74.16 million operations per second. However, single-core performance is average, and the absence of GPU acceleration leads to poor text generation speeds in large language model inference. This hardware profile makes the r5.metal highly cost-efficient for memory-heavy applications, large databases, and parallel software compilation, whereas it is less suitable for GPU-dependent machine learning or workloads requiring local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      2.65Score
      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.
