Right now, we’re asserting the supply of recent memory-optimized, high-frequency Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X8aedz cases powered by a fifth Gen AMD EPYC processor. These cases supply the very best CPU frequency, 5GHz within the cloud. They ship as much as two occasions larger compute efficiency in comparison with earlier era X2iezn cases.
X8aedz cases are perfect for digital design automation (EDA) workloads, comparable to bodily format and bodily verification jobs, and relational databases that profit from excessive single-threaded processor efficiency and a big reminiscence footprint. The mixture of 5 GHz processors and native NVMe storage permits sooner processing of memory-intensive backend EDA workloads comparable to ground planning, logic placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and energy/sign integrity evaluation. The excessive memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32:1 makes these cases notably efficient for purposes with vCPU-based licensing fashions.
Let me clarify the occasion sort naming: The “a” suffix signifies an AMD processor, “e” denotes prolonged reminiscence within the memory-optimized occasion household, “d” represents native NVMe-based SSDs bodily related to the host server, and “z” signifies high-frequency processors.
X8aedz cases
X8aedz cases can be found in eight sizes starting from 2–96 vCPUs with 64–3,072 GiB of reminiscence, together with two naked metallic sizes. X8aedz cases characteristic as much as 75 Gbps of community bandwidth with assist for the Elastic Cloth Adapter (EFA), as much as 60 Gbps of throughput to the Amazon Elastic Block Retailer (Amazon EBS), and as much as 8 TB of native NVMe SSD storage.
Listed here are the specs for X8aedz cases:
| Occasion identify | vCPUs | Reminiscence (GiB) |
NVMe SSD storage (GB) | Community bandwidth (Gbps) | EBS bandwidth (Gbps) |
| x8aedz.massive | 2 | 64 | 158 | As much as 18.75 | As much as 15 |
| x8aedz.xlarge | 4 | 128 | 316 | As much as 18.75 | As much as 15 |
| x8aedz.3xlarge | 12 | 384 | 950 | As much as 18.75 | As much as 15 |
| x8aedz.6xlarge | 24 | 768 | 1,900 | 18.75 | 15 |
| x8aedz.12xlarge | 48 | 1,536 | 3,800 | 37.5 | 30 |
| x8aedz.24xlarge | 96 | 3,072 | 7,600 | 75 | 60 |
| x8aedz.metal-12xl | 48 | 1,536 | 3,800 | 37.5 | 30 |
| x8aedz.metal-24xl | 96 | 3,072 | 7,600 | 75 | 60 |
With the 60 Gbps Amazon EBS bandwidth and as much as 8 TB of native NVMe SSD storage, you’ll be able to obtain sooner database response occasions and lowered latency for EDA operations, finally accelerating time-to-market for chip designs. These cases additionally assist the occasion bandwidth configuration characteristic that gives flexibility in allocating sources between community and EBS bandwidth. You may scale community or EBS bandwidth by 25% and enhance database (learn and write) efficiency, question processing, and logging speeds.
X8aedz cases use sixth-generation AWS Nitro playing cards, which offload CPU virtualization, storage, and networking capabilities to devoted {hardware} and software program, enhancing efficiency and safety to your workloads.
Now obtainable
Amazon EC2 X8aedz cases at the moment are obtainable in US West (Oregon) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) AWS Areas, and extra Areas will probably be coming quickly. For Regional availability and future roadmap, search the occasion sort within the AWS CloudFormation sources tab of the AWS Capabilities by Area.
You should buy these cases as On-Demand, Financial savings Plan, Spot Situations, and Devoted Situations. To be taught extra, go to the Amazon EC2 Pricing web page.
Give X8aedz cases a strive within the Amazon EC2 console. To be taught extra, go to the Amazon EC2 X8aedz cases web page and ship suggestions to AWS re:Submit for EC2 or by way of your normal AWS Assist contacts.
