      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency bare-metal server featuring a massive memory footprint and high-speed networking for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services x2iezn.metal is a dedicated bare-metal server optimized for memory-intensive workloads. It features 48 vCPUs powered by Intel Xeon 8252C processors running at 4.5 GHz, paired with 1536.0 GB of DDR4 memory. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 100 Gbps. Benchmarks indicate strong performance in large-block memory bandwidth and software compilation, though LLM text generation speeds remain weak. This configuration is highly suited for large in-memory databases, memory-bound enterprise applications, and high-throughput network tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      2.5Score
      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.
