      Server Description

      A dedicated Intel Xeon compute instance with AVX-512 support, optimized for video transcoding and multi-threaded workloads without local storage.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services vt1.3xlarge is a compute-focused instance optimized for video transcoding and multi-threaded processing. It features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 12 dedicated vCPUs and 24.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, relying on a 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5969.0 and a multi-core stress-ng score of 10177.46, though single-core performance is relatively weak. The hardware supports AVX-512 vector instructions, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-bound tasks that do not require high memory-to-CPU ratios. It is best suited for video transcoding, software compilation, and moderate web serving workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.59Score
      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.
