      Server Description

      A single-core, memory-optimized virtual server featuring high-speed DDR5 memory and strong single-threaded AMD EPYC performance for lightweight workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r7a.medium is a memory-optimized virtual server featuring a single dedicated AMD EPYC 9R14 core running at 3.7 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 8.0 GB of DDR5 memory operating at 5 GHz, establishing an 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio. The x86_64 architecture supports AVX-512 and cryptographic extensions, though the instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU performance, but multi-core and memory read bandwidth metrics are limited by the single-vCPU configuration. It offers a balanced option for workloads requiring dedicated CPU execution without hyperthreading overhead. The platform's DDR5 memory architecture ensures efficient data access speeds for single-threaded operations. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for entry-level memory-intensive tasks, making it suitable for lightweight caching, single-threaded background processing, and small database workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.16Score
      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.
