    Server Description

    A bare-metal, memory-optimized ARMv9 server featuring high-capacity local NVMe storage and top-tier multi-core performance for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.metal-24xl is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server featuring 96 dedicated physical cores on the 2.8 GHz AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture. Equipped with 768 GB of DDR5 RAM and 5700 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, this arm64 instance delivers a baseline network speed of 40 Gbps. Benchmark data highlights top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and outstanding database execution, including 201.15 million operations per second in Redis SET tests. However, single-core performance remains moderate, and small-model LLM text generation represents a performance bottleneck. Given its high resource density and bare-metal deployment, the server offers excellent qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound and storage-heavy operations. It is highly suited for enterprise databases, high-throughput caching layers, and intensive multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    6.63Score
    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.
