    Server Description

    A memory-optimized platform featuring high-speed DDR5 memory, dedicated Intel Xeon processing, and integrated high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8id.16xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz. It is equipped with 512.0 GB of 7 GHz DDR5 memory and 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, running on the Nitro hypervisor with a 30 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The instance delivers strong multi-core CPU and memory read performance, placing in the top 10% for Geekbench multi-core and software compilation benchmarks. Supported by advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512, it excels in compute-heavy tasks such as image processing and small-model LLM prompt processing. The combination of high-density DDR5 memory and fast local NVMe storage makes this server highly efficient for memory-intensive databases, Redis caching, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    4.41Score
    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.
