    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, local NVMe SSD storage, and balanced multi-core performance for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r5dn.4xlarge is a memory-optimized instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor. It delivers 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, alongside a 600 GB NVMe SSD local storage volume and 16 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU execution is weak, ranking in the bottom 25%, while multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at an average level within the middle 50%. This hardware configuration is suited for memory-intensive workloads, caching systems, and database operations that benefit from a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and local NVMe storage, rather than raw single-threaded compute speed.

    Workload Profiles

    0.775Score
    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.
