    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring high-speed DDR5 RAM, local NVMe storage, and top-tier single-core performance for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8id.2xlarge is an x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of DDR5 memory and 474 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers top-tier single-core performance, particularly in Geekbench single-core and text processing benchmarks. Single-threaded compression tasks also rank in the top 25%. However, multi-core benchmarks and large-block memory bandwidth remain in the average tier, and text generation for medium 7B LLM models is weak. The instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive workloads by bundling high-speed RAM and local NVMe storage. It is best suited for database operations, caching layers, and single-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.964Score
    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.
