    Server Description

    An arm64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, high memory density, and fast local NVMe SSD storage for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services r6gd.2xlarge is an arm64 memory-optimized instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor operating at 2.5 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of system memory, yielding 8.0 GB per core, alongside 474 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers dedicated CPU allocation with one thread per core. Benchmark data shows average multi-core CPU performance and solid memory read bandwidth of up to 472.5 GB/sec for cached blocks, though single-threaded and cryptographic performance remains relatively weak. With a Passmark database operations score of 5295.54 and Redis SET performance of 9.53 million operations per second, this instance is optimized for memory-intensive databases, caching layers, and web serving applications requiring fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.525Score
    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.
