      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86 server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high-speed DDR5 RAM for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r8a.4xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring an AMD EPYC 9R45 processor with 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs running at 4.5 GHz. It is configured with 128.0 GB of DDR5 memory operating at 6 GHz, yielding 8.0 GB of RAM per core. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on an 8 Gbps baseline network connection. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance and strong memory scores, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound applications. This instance is suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive data processing workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      2.43Score
      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.
