    Server Description

    An ARM-based, memory-optimized instance featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and local NVMe storage for lightweight, memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services x2gd.medium is a memory-optimized instance featuring a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 core built on the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture. Operating at 2.5 GHz, the server is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 16 GB per vCPU. It includes a bundled 59 GB NVMe SSD instance store volume, though baseline network bandwidth is 0 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU performance, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are low due to the single-vCPU limitation. The instance supports hardware AES cryptography but lacks advanced vector extensions. This server is designed for memory-intensive, single-threaded workloads such as lightweight caching, small Redis deployments, and basic database operations where high memory capacity is required but parallel compute demands are minimal.

    Workload Profiles

    0.106Score
    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.
