    Server Description

    A memory-optimized platform featuring high-speed local NVMe storage and exceptional network bandwidth for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r5dn.16xlarge is a memory-optimized instance designed for high-throughput workloads. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features 64 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz, paired with 512 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance includes 2400 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 75 Gbps. Benchmark results highlight strong memory bandwidth for large-block read and write operations, alongside average multi-core CPU performance. While single-core execution speed is relatively weak, its high memory-to-vCPU ratio and fast local storage make it highly efficient for memory-intensive applications. It is well-suited for large databases, in-memory data stores, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    2.1Score
    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.
