      Server Description

      An arm64 memory-optimized instance featuring sixty-four dedicated cores and top-tier memory bandwidth for demanding database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r8gb.16xlarge is an arm64 memory-optimized server powered by 64 dedicated AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. It features 512.0 GB of system memory, providing 8.0 GB of RAM per core, and operates on the AWS Nitro hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 133 Gbps. This instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show top-tier memory performance, with uncached read memory bandwidth of 479.37 GB/sec and Redis SET operations reaching 132.72 million operations per second. While single-core performance is average, multi-core and database benchmarks rank in the top tier. The instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads, including in-memory databases, caching layers, and multi-threaded data processing, offering high resource density and memory throughput without local storage overhead.

      Workload Profiles

      4.4Score
      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.
