    Elastic Compute Service:Instance families with high clock speeds (hf series)

    Last Updated:Dec 13, 2024

    Instance families with high clock speeds (hf series) provide CPU-to-memory ratios of 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8 and are suitable for scenarios such as massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, high-performance scientific computing scenarios such as high-performance computing, and large and medium-sized database systems.

    Background information

    Before you read further in this topic, you must be familiar with the following information:

    After you determine an instance type for your use case, you may need to learn about the following information:

    • Regions in which the instance type is available for purchase. Instance types that are available for purchase vary based on the region. You can go to the Instance Types Available for Each Region page to view the instance types available for purchase in each region. Alternatively, you can call the DescribeRegions and DescribeZones operations to query the available regions and the zones in a specific region.

    • Estimated instance costs. You can calculate the price of instances that uses different billing methods in the Price Calculator. You can also call the DescribePrice operation to query information about the most recent prices of ECS resources.

    • Instructions for purchasing an instance. You can go to the ECS instance buy page to place a purchase order for instances.

    You may be concerned about the following information:

    • Retired instance families. If you cannot find an instance type in this topic, the instance type may be in a retired instance family. For information about retired instance families, see Retired instance families.

    • Supported instance type changes. Before you change the instance type of an instance, check whether the instance type can be changed and identify compatible instance types. For more information, see Instance types and families that support instance type changes.

        Note

        The processors used by this instance family have a clock speed of 3.1 GHz. However, the Intel System Studio (ISS) feature may cause a lower clock speed to be displayed. Alibaba Cloud is working on this issue. This issue does not affect the actual clock speeds of your instances.

        You can separately run the following commands to use the turbostat tool to view the actual clock speeds:

        yum install kernel-tools
        turbostat
