I/O Performance

Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:

	Read	Write
Max	N/A	N/A
Average	N/A	N/A
Deviation	N/A	N/A
Min	N/A	N/A

I/O rate testing is conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. Cloud Mercato uses the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express IOPS the following parametersare used: 4K block, random access, no filesystem (except for write access with root volume and avoidance of cache and buffer.

All

I was looking to expedite some simulations using an EC2 console. The simulations are based on a C executable whose performance is dominated by CPU performance. I was using an Apple M1 processor with 8 cores, and 16 GB of memory and was hoping to expedite the simulations using an EC2 high performance computing resource. I chose the c8g.4xlarge instance (16 CPU, 32 GB memory, ARM64 processor). I benchmarked its simulatiion times against the Apple M1 processor and was rather surprised and disappointed.
