Oracle OCI Compute E6 Benchmarks For Leading AMD EPYC Turin Performance In The Cloud
Right from the start when executing CPU workloads across these different public cloud provider instance types, the Oracle E6 was showing its very significant generational uplift over the E5 series and competitiveness to the instances from Amazon EC2, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. With Oracle E6 with 16 OCPUs for 32 vCPUs was obviously much more performant than the other 16 vCPU instance types.
For the QuantLib benchmark for this open-source quantitative finance software, the Oracle E6 series were delivering the best performance-per-dollar compared to the other tested instances.
While not advertised as being an HPC instance, for demanding HPC applications the Oracle E6 series still performed for raw performance and leading value over other public cloud alternatives.
With the Apache Cassandra 5.0 software, the Oracle E6 8 OCPU instance even outperformed the Oracle E5 16 OCPU instance. The E6 series were delivering by far the best value of the tested instances for those interested in running Cassandra in the cloud.
Across other OpenJDK Java workloads, the Oracle E6 was delivering very strong performance backed by AMD 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" processors.
