      Server Description

      An arm64 memory-optimized instance featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for database operations and memory-bound workloads without heavy compute demands.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Amazon Web Services r8g.large is a memory-optimized server instance utilizing the AWS Nitro hypervisor and custom arm64 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processors. It features 2 dedicated physical cores (2 vCPUs) running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB of memory per core. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, and has a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates average single-core CPU and large-block memory read performance, alongside strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, multi-core performance, cryptography, and LLM inference speeds are weak to poor due to the 2-core limitation. Qualitatively, the r8g.large offers a cost-efficient entry point for memory-intensive workloads that do not require heavy parallel computation, making it suitable for database operations, caching, and text processing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.33Score
      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.
