      Server Description

      A bare-metal, memory-optimized system featuring three terabytes of DDR5 RAM and three hundred eighty-four virtual cores for heavy database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r8i.metal-96xl is a memory-optimized bare-metal server powered by dedicated Intel Xeon 6975P-C processors. It features 192 physical cores, 384 vCPUs, and 3072.0 GB of DDR5 memory running at 7 GHz, with no local storage or GPUs. The server delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 100 Gbps. In benchmark testing, it achieves top-tier performance in multi-core CPU execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations, including Redis SET performance. However, text generation for small LLM models is a performance bottleneck, ranking in the bottom 10%. This bare-metal configuration provides direct hardware access and high resource density, making it suitable for large-scale in-memory databases, high-throughput web serving, and intensive multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      15Score
      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.
