    Server Description

    A memory-optimized platform featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for demanding database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services r8id.8xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs, 16 physical cores, and a 3.9 GHz clock speed. It is configured with 256 GB of high-speed 7 GHz DDR5 RAM and 1900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, running on the AWS Nitro hypervisor. The instance delivers strong benchmark performance, including top-tier Geekbench single-core and image processing scores, alongside strong multi-core capabilities. While it excels at small-scale LLM inference, performance drops significantly on larger models due to the absence of a GPU. With its high memory-to-core ratio and fast local storage, the r8id.8xlarge is highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications, making it an excellent fit for databases, in-memory caching, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    2.77Score
    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.
