      Server Description

      A high-density, memory-optimized Arm64 instance delivering exceptional memory bandwidth and dedicated multi-core processing for demanding database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r8g.12xlarge is a memory-optimized instance powered by 48 dedicated physical cores of the Arm64 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core, with a baseline network bandwidth of 22 Gbps and no local storage or GPU hardware. The instance delivers top-tier memory bandwidth, reaching 404.36 GB/sec for large-block reads, alongside strong multi-core CPU performance. It excels in memory-intensive tasks, database operations, and high-throughput static web serving, processing 100.01 million Redis SET operations per second. The r8g.12xlarge represents a highly resource-dense option for enterprise workloads, offering an efficient balance of memory capacity and multi-core processing power without the overhead of hyperthreading.

      Workload Profiles

      3.9Score
      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.
