    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high-capacity DDR4 RAM and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for low-latency data caching.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r5d.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance designed for workloads requiring high memory capacity and fast local storage. Running on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The hardware configuration includes 300 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows average multi-core CPU and memory performance, alongside average throughput for database operations and static web serving, though single-core performance remains weak. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-heavy applications needing a local scratch disk, such as in-memory databases, caching layers, and data buffering. It is less suited for compute-intensive or single-threaded tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.452Score
    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.
