    Server Description

    A bare-metal ARMv9 server combining massive DDR5 memory capacity with high-speed local NVMe storage for intensive database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.metal-48xl is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server utilizing 192 dedicated physical cores of the 2.7 GHz AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture. It is equipped with 1536.0 GB of DDR5 memory and 11400 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, alongside a 50 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks indicate top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, alongside strong database and Redis SET operations. However, single-core processing and LLM text generation speeds remain average to weak due to the lack of hardware accelerators. This resource-dense configuration is highly efficient for workloads requiring massive memory capacity and fast local storage, such as large-scale databases, multi-threaded data processing, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    9.41Score
    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.
