    Server Description

    An ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated cores, high-capacity RAM, and fast local NVMe SSD storage for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r6gd.8xlarge is a memory-optimized, ARM64-based server instance powered by 32 dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz. It features 256 GB of RAM, a bundled 1900 GB NVMe SSD local instance store, and a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth managed by the Nitro hypervisor. Benchmarks indicate solid multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities, such as a multi-core Geekbench score of 11,391.0 and 38.98 million operations per second in Redis SET tests, though single-core performance remains a relative tradeoff. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio and fast local storage make this instance highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive databases, in-memory caching, and data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.51Score
    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.
