Amazon EC2 z1d Instances

Delivering a sustained all core frequency of up to 4.0 GHz, and a high memory to vCPU ratio

Why Amazon EC2 z1d Instances?

Amazon EC2 z1d instances deliver high single thread performance due to a custom Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor with a sustained all core frequency of up to 4.0 GHz. z1d provides both high compute performance and high memory, which is ideal for electronic design automation (EDA), computational lithography, financial, actuarial, data analytics, and CPU or memory-bound relational database workloads with high per-core licensing costs. z1d is also ideal for applications requiring high single-threaded performance and high memory usage.

Many workloads such as EDA and relational databases have high per core software licensing fees. Semiconductor firms who use EDA software for the design and verification of integrated circuits have software licensing costs that account for a majority of their TCO. With z1d instances, semiconductor firms are able to run more EDA jobs per core, amortizing their annual license subscription over more jobs and reducing their design and verification time. Similarly, customers typically pay per processor licensing fees for relational database workloads and can lower licensing costs with a faster processor accompanied by a large amount of memory.
