    Server Description

    A high-density ARM64 instance combining massive memory capacity and local NVMe storage for demanding database and memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.48xlarge is a memory-optimized, ARM64-based server instance powered by 192 dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 physical cores running at 2.7 GHz. It features 1536.0 GB of RAM, 11,400 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 50 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, with uncached read speeds reaching 895.63 GB/sec. Benchmark results show outstanding performance in database operations, Redis SET operations, and software compilation, though single-core performance remains average. The high density of memory and local storage makes this instance highly efficient for large-scale in-memory databases, caching layers, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    10.4Score
    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.
