    Server Description

    An ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and strong memory bandwidth for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores on the 64-bit ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture. Operating at 2.8 GHz, it delivers 64.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per core memory-to-vCPU ratio. The instance includes a 474 GB NVMe SSD local storage volume and runs on the Nitro hypervisor with a 4 Gbps baseline network speed. Benchmark data indicates strong memory performance, with a PassMark memory score of 2935.53 and a small-block read bandwidth of 925.12 GB/sec. It handles 16.62 million Redis SET operations per second, though it exhibits weaker performance in cryptographic tests and medium-model LLM prompt processing. This hardware profile is highly efficient for memory-intensive applications, database hosting, and caching layers requiring high-speed local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.97Score
    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.
