      Server Description

      A dedicated ARM64 memory-optimized instance delivering top-tier memory bandwidth and high memory-to-core density for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r8g.2xlarge is an ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs on an AWS Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 64.0 GB of RAM, providing 8.0 GB of memory per core, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers top-tier memory performance, with PassMark memory scores in the top 10% and large-block read bandwidth in the top 25%. Single-core performance is strong in text processing and bzip3 decompression, though multi-core execution and database operations remain average. Cryptographic performance and medium-model prompt processing are notable weaknesses. The r8g.2xlarge is suited for memory-intensive workloads, in-memory databases, and text processing tasks requiring high memory-to-core ratios.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      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.
