Memory-Optimized DeHs

Overview

Memory-optimized DeHs are designed for processing large-scale data sets in the memory. They use the latest Intel Xeon Skylake CPUs, network acceleration engines, and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) to provide higher network performance. They provide a maximum of 512 GiB of DDR4 memory for high-memory computing applications.

Memory-optimized DeHs are classified into m3, m7n, and m6 DeHs.

  • M6 ECSs can be deployed on m6 DeHs.
  • m7n DeHs can house M7n ECSs.

Number of vCPUs = (Number of sockets x Number of cores x Number of single-core threads – CPU overheads) x CPU overcommitment ratio

  • m3 DeHs

    vCPUs = (2 x 18 x 2 – 12) x 1.07 = 64

  • m6 DeHs

    vCPUs = (2 x 22 x 2 – 12) x 1 = 76

  • m7n DeHs

    vCPUs = (2 x 28 x 2 – 14) x 1 = 98
