Immediately, we’re saying the provision of latest memory-optimized, high-frequency Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X8aedz situations powered by a fifth Gen AMD EPYC processor. These situations supply the best CPU frequency, 5GHz within the cloud. They ship as much as two instances larger compute efficiency in comparison with earlier technology X2iezn situations.
X8aedz situations are perfect for digital design automation (EDA) workloads, comparable to bodily structure and bodily verification jobs, and relational databases that profit from excessive single-threaded processor efficiency and a big reminiscence footprint. The mix 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 situations significantly efficient for purposes with vCPU-based licensing fashions.
Let me clarify the occasion kind 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 situations
X8aedz situations 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 situations function as much as 75 Gbps of community bandwidth with assist for the Elastic Material 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 below are the specs for X8aedz situations:
| Occasion title | vCPUs | Reminiscence (GiB) |
NVMe SSD storage (GB) | Community bandwidth (Gbps) | EBS bandwidth (Gbps) |
| x8aedz.giant | 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 instances and decreased latency for EDA operations, in the end accelerating time-to-market for chip designs. These situations additionally assist the occasion bandwidth configuration function that gives flexibility in allocating assets between community and EBS bandwidth. You possibly can scale community or EBS bandwidth by 25% and enhance database (learn and write) efficiency, question processing, and logging speeds.
X8aedz situations 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 in your workloads.
Now accessible
Amazon EC2 X8aedz situations at the moment are accessible in US West (Oregon) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) AWS Areas, and extra Areas shall be coming quickly. For Regional availability and future roadmap, search the occasion kind within the AWS CloudFormation assets tab of the AWS Capabilities by Area.
You should purchase these situations as On-Demand, Financial savings Plan, Spot Cases, and Devoted Cases. To study extra, go to the Amazon EC2 Pricing web page.
Give X8aedz situations a strive within the Amazon EC2 console. To study extra, go to the Amazon EC2 X8aedz situations web page and ship suggestions to AWS re:Submit for EC2 or via your normal AWS Help contacts.
