    Server Description

    An entry-level ARM64 instance combining a high memory-to-core ratio with high-speed local NVMe storage for lightweight caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r6gd.medium is a memory-optimized, ARM64-based instance powered by a single-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 8.0 GB of RAM, a 59 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and runs on the AWS Nitro hypervisor. While its single-core stress-ng performance is average at 1471.08, its multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into lower percentiles due to the single-vCPU limitation. The instance lacks AVX and AMX instruction sets but supports AES cryptography. With a high memory-to-core ratio and local SSD storage, the r6gd.medium provides a cost-efficient profile for lightweight, memory-intensive applications. It is best suited for small-scale database caching, Redis key-value stores, and basic web serving workloads requiring local scratch space.

    Workload Profiles

    0.092Score
    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.
