Description
Decision support system (DSS) workloads have become integral tools for many organizations, helping to collect raw information and turn it into actionable insights. For companies that run their DSS workloads in the cloud, the wide range of instances available can be overwhelming and determining which instances will deliver strong performance can be a challenge. We measured the performance of several Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 cloud instance types using a DSS benchmark. We began by looking at the effect of adding Granulate Real-Time Continuous Optimization (Granulate) to C5 instances enabled by 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Granulate is a workload optimizer that can improve both Intel processor performance and productivity. Next, we compared the performance of the C5 instance with Granulate to that of a C5a instance using AMD EPYC processors.
