      Server Description

      A multi-core compute instance featuring a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, optimized for video transcoding and parallel processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services vt1.6xlarge is a Nitro-based server instance designed for video transcoding workloads. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor featuring 24 vCPUs, 12 physical cores, and a 2.5 GHz clock speed on an x86_64 architecture. The instance includes 48.0 GB of DDR4 memory, providing a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, but lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs. Network performance is anchored by a 6 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmarks show average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth performance, contrasted by weak single-core execution. This hardware profile makes the vt1.6xlarge qualitatively cost-efficient for multi-threaded tasks such as video transcoding, multi-core software compilation, and moderate database operations, while remaining less optimal for single-threaded or memory-heavy applications.

      Workload Profiles

      1.02Score
      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.
