      Server Description

      A burstable, entry-level virtual server designed for workloads with variable CPU utilization and moderate memory requirements.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t3.large is a burstable performance instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 2 vCPUs across 1 physical core, 8.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates entry-level performance, with single-core and multi-core CPU metrics falling into the weak and poor categories, respectively. Memory bandwidth and database operations also register in the bottom 10% of tested configurations. This resource profile makes the t3.large qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads with variable CPU demands. It is best suited for light web serving, development environments, and small background processes that require burstable capacity rather than sustained high-performance compute.

      Workload Profiles

      0.119Score
      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.
