    Server Description

    A bare-metal ARM64 server featuring one terabyte of memory and local NVMe storage for high-throughput in-memory database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services x2gd.metal is a bare-metal, memory-optimized server equipped with 64 dedicated physical cores of the ARMv8 AWS Graviton2 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 1024.0 GB of DDR4 memory, delivering a high ratio of 16.0 GB of RAM per core, alongside 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU performance and small-block cached memory bandwidth, though single-core performance and large-block memory operations are more moderate. The server excels in Redis SET operations and static web serving, making it highly efficient for in-memory databases, caching layers, and high-throughput web applications. It is less suited for single-threaded tasks or large language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    2.38Score
    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.
