      Server Description

      A memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and DDR5 memory for memory-intensive workloads requiring high RAM-to-vCPU ratios.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r7a.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor running at 3.7 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 64.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 5 GHz, yielding an 8:1 memory-to-core ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on a 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution and text processing capabilities, placing in the top 25%, while multi-core benchmarks and database operations align with average tiers. However, uncached large-block read memory bandwidth is weak, representing a key hardware tradeoff. This instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads, in-memory caching, and database operations that require high RAM capacity per core without local storage requirements.

      Workload Profiles

      0.698Score
      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.
