    Server Description

    An ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton processors and local NVMe SSD storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8gd.xlarge is an ARM64 memory-optimized instance powered by AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processors. It delivers 4 dedicated physical cores at 2.8 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 237 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show average performance overall, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1864.0 and multi-core score of 5890.0. Memory bandwidth reaches 462.09 GB/sec for cached small blocks, while bzip3 single-threaded decompression performs in the top 25%. However, cryptographic capabilities are limited, scoring in the bottom 10% on Passmark encryption tests. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications requiring local high-speed storage, making it suitable for database operations, Redis caching, and general memory-optimized workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.581Score
    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.
