      Server Description

      A burstable virtual server with balanced memory and compute resources designed specifically for handling variable and low intensity workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t2.large is a burstable general-purpose instance utilizing the Xen hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor. Running at 2.3 GHz, it provides 2 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, and 8.0 GB of system memory, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating on a 1 Gbps baseline network, its performance profile is characterized by burstable CPU allocation. Benchmark results place its compute, memory bandwidth, and database operations performance largely in the bottom 10% to 25%, though it achieves average speeds in text generation for small language models. Featuring a 45 MB L3 cache and AVX support, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads with variable CPU demands. It is best suited for low-traffic web servers, development environments, and light database tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.142Score
      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.
