      Server Description

      A single-core, memory-optimized arm64 instance delivering dedicated Graviton processor execution and high memory density for lightweight, single-threaded workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r8g.medium is a memory-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 core on the arm64 architecture. Running at 2.8 GHz, it is paired with 8.0 GB of system memory, yielding an 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio. The instance operates on the Nitro hypervisor with a 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth and contains no local storage or GPU hardware. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU execution and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are limited by the single-vCPU configuration. This resource profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive, single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for lightweight memory-resident applications, single-threaded background workers, and small-scale caching layers that benefit from dedicated CPU allocation and high memory density without requiring parallel processing capabilities.

      Workload Profiles

      0.173Score
      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.
