      Server Description

      A burstable 32-vCPU AMD EPYC instance with low memory density, designed for variable workloads requiring high core counts.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure B32als_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 32 vCPUs and 16 physical cores. Operating at 3.525 GHz, it features 64.0 GB of RAM, yielding a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports premium storage. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU and memory performance, while multi-core operations, web serving, and medium-model LLM inference perform in the average tier. Large-model LLM inference is weak. The burstable CPU allocation provides qualitative cost efficiency for variable workloads, though performance is subject to credit limits. This configuration is suitable for software compilation, static web serving, and low-memory database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.4Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
