      Server Description

      A bare-metal, memory-optimized platform featuring massive DDR5 capacity and high-bandwidth networking for demanding multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

      Amazon Web Services r8i.metal-96xl is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server featuring 384 vCPUs across 192 physical Intel Xeon 6975P-C cores running at 3.9 GHz. It is equipped with 3072.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz, providing 8.0 GB per core, alongside a 480 MB L3 cache and a 100 Gbps baseline network speed. The instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and exceptional database throughput, with Redis SET operations reaching 531.59 million operations per second. However, single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds for small models represent notable performance tradeoffs. This server is suited for in-memory databases, large-scale data processing, multi-threaded software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      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.
