    Server Description

    An ARM64 memory-optimized instance with dedicated Graviton cores, integrated NVMe storage, and a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for lightweight database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.large is an ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring 2 dedicated physical cores on the AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 architecture running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing 8.0 GB per core, and includes a 118 GB local NVMe SSD instance store. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core capabilities, such as a Geekbench single-core score of 1815.0 and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, contrasted with weak multi-core and memory write performance. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive tasks requiring local scratch storage but is constrained by its 2-vCPU limit and lower multi-threaded throughput. It is suited for lightweight database operations, caching, and single-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.345Score
    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.
