    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r5d.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance designed for memory-intensive workloads requiring high-speed local storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz, it features 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory, yielding a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance includes 300 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average performance in memory bandwidth, Redis SET operations, and database tasks, though CPU-heavy benchmarks and LLM inference speeds are relatively weak. This hardware profile makes the r5d.2xlarge highly suitable for database operations, caching layers, and applications requiring temporary high-speed scratch space, offering a balanced tradeoff between high memory capacity, local SSD storage, and moderate compute capabilities.

    Workload Profiles

    0.456Score
    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.
