3. Does the use of Yitian instances help your cloud business or test projects?
1. How does Yitian instance use and business deployment feel, and what are the differences compared with the main sales instance of X86 architecture, and where are the specific manifestations?
Yitian cloud server adopts Yitian 710 processor, which is based on a new generation of CIPU architecture. It aims to provide an order of magnitude improvement in computing, storage and network performance. It supports computing (c8y), general-purpose (g8y), and memory (r8y) three specification families. It is suitable for scenarios such as cloud native, video codec, high-performance computing, CPU-based machine learning and game services. As an important step for Alibaba Cloud to promote the "one cloud with multiple cores" strategy, Yitian 710 adopts the industry's most advanced 5nm process, has a 128-core CPU, the main frequency can reach up to 3.2GHz, and integrates industry-leading DDR5, PCIE5.0 and other technologies.
In terms of the user experience of Yitian instances, the powerful performance and high energy consumption ratio of Yitian 710 processors make it perform well in computing-intensive tasks and can effectively cope with large-scale business deployments. Compared with mainstream instances of the traditional X86 architecture, Yitian cloud servers may exhibit higher performance and better energy consumption performance under corresponding computing tasks.
2. Carry out stress testing for video transcoding scenarios. The business pressure is gradually increasing. Focus on comparing the performance curves of Yitian instances and X86 architecture instances, and analyze the specific reasons?
In the video transcoding scenario, stress testing the Yitian instance and the X86 architecture instance can help understand their performance in video processing. By gradually increasing the business pressure, you can observe the performance change curves of Yitian instances and X86 architecture instances. Since the Yitian 710 processor has powerful computing capabilities and features designed for the cloud, it may perform better in video encoding and decoding tasks.
The specific reason may be related to the special optimization of the Yitian 710 processor design for video processing scenarios, such as the improvement of the flow control algorithm and the built-in hardware acceleration support. These features can effectively improve the efficiency and scalability of video transcoding tasks, making Yitian instances perform well in video processing scenarios.
3. Does the use of Yitian instances help your cloud business or test projects?
The strong performance and high energy consumption ratio of Yitian instances may bring substantial help to cloud business and test projects. For computing-intensive tasks, the Yitian 710 processor may provide higher computing power, thereby accelerating business processing, improving response speed, and reducing task processing time.
At the same time, for cloud-native, high-performance computing and CPU-based machine learning tasks that require large-scale deployment, the order-of-magnitude improved computing, storage and network performance of Yitian instances may bring higher efficiency and better user experience.
4. The business you have deployed to the X86 architecture, such as web applications, websites, databases, big data, etc., has been migrated to Yitian instances and is running normally. Please describe what problems you encountered during the migration process?
When migrating X86 architecture business to Yitian instance, you may encounter some compatibility and adaptability problems. Since the Yitian 710 processor adopts a new generation of CIPU architecture, there may be differences in the instruction set and hardware characteristics between the X86 architecture and some applications or components need to be adapted and adjusted after migration.
Frequently asked questions include:
Instruction set compatibility: Yitian 710 adopts ARMv9 architecture, which has instruction set differences with the traditional X86 architecture, so some specific instructions or codes may need to be recompiled or modified.
Library dependency: If the business uses specific libraries or dependencies, and these libraries may only provide support on the X86 architecture, it is necessary to find alternatives or make corresponding adaptations.
Performance optimization: After the migration, it may be necessary to optimize the performance of the business to give full play to the advantages and characteristics of Yitian instances.
5. Did you get product guidance or documentation help during your experience or use of Yitian instances? If not, what documentation is missing?
For product use experience, perfect product guidance and documentation help are very important. In the process of using Yitian instances, if there are detailed product guides and usage documents, it can help users get started more quickly, understand the functions and characteristics of the instances, and better utilize the advantages of the Yitian 710 processor.
If there is a lack of product guidance or documentation, users may encounter some confusion or problems during use, requiring more time and effort to explore and learn.
In general , the Yitian 710 processor of Yitian cloud server has significant advantages in terms of performance, energy efficiency ratio and applicable scenarios. By adopting a new generation of CIPU architecture and advanced 5nm process, Yitian 710 has achieved an order of magnitude improvement in computing, storage and network performance, and is especially suitable for scenarios such as cloud native, video codec, high-performance computing, CPU-based machine learning and game services.
From a performance point of view, Yitian 710 performs well in computing-intensive tasks. Its 128-core CPU and high main frequency enable it to handle large-scale business deployment, accelerate business processing, improve response speed, and maintain good energy consumption performance. The excellent performance of Yitian 710 in video transcoding scenarios also shows that it is highly competitive in specific tasks.
In addition, the performance advantage of Yitian 710 processor also lies in its optimized design for specific application scenarios, including special optimization of on-chip interconnection and improvement of flow control algorithm to improve system efficiency and scalability. This makes Yitian cloud server an ideal choice for dealing with bandwidth bottlenecks under high concurrency conditions.
The Yitian 710 processor of Yitian cloud server is the first self-developed general-purpose server CPU chip of Alibaba Pingtouge Semiconductor Company. It not only represents Alibaba Cloud's important progress in self-developed chips, but also brings more choices to the cloud computing field. The performance and applicable scenarios of Yitian 710 make it a strong support for business and test projects on the cloud, and can provide users with more efficient, stable and high-quality cloud services.
In terms of product experience, it is very important for users to have comprehensive product guidance and documentation assistance. Currently, there is no specific information about the product guide and documentation of Yitian instances, so it is impossible to evaluate its performance in this regard. However, for new chips and cloud servers, clear and detailed documentation and guidance will help users better understand and use the product.
To sum up, Yitian cloud server is equipped with Yitian 710 processor, which has excellent performance and energy efficiency ratio, and shows excellent computing power and stability in specific scenarios. For businesses that need to deal with computing-intensive, video encoding and decoding tasks, Yitian instances may be a choice worth considering. However, when migrating existing business to Yitian instance, you may need to face some compatibility and adaptability challenges, so users need to carry out relevant testing and optimization. Finally, for Yitian cloud server, perfect product guidance and documentation help will have a positive impact on user experience and usage.
