      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86 server featuring high RAM density and strong multi-core performance for database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r6a.16xlarge is a memory-optimized server instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.6 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it delivers 512.0 GB of DDR4 memory, establishing an 8 GB per core ratio. The instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, but provides a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks indicate strong capabilities in multi-core CPU execution, database operations, and Redis SET operations, which exceed 68.81 million operations per second. Conversely, uncached large-block memory bandwidth and medium-model LLM inference speeds remain average. This hardware profile is engineered for memory-heavy workloads, including in-memory databases, caching layers, and enterprise data processing applications.

      Workload Profiles

      2.3Score
      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.
