      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing and DDR5 memory for low-concurrency, memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r7a.large is a memory-optimized virtual server powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs on an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor running at 3.7 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 5 GHz. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, with top-tier results in single-threaded CPU and decompression tests. However, multi-core execution, memory read bandwidth, and database operations fall into average or weak categories due to the 2-core limitation. Qualitatively, the r7a.large provides a cost-efficient profile for memory-intensive applications that do not require massive parallel processing. It is best suited for small-scale databases, caching layers, and single-threaded data processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.28Score
      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.
