      Server Description

      A burstable x86_64 virtual machine with 32 vCPUs and 128 GB RAM, designed for cost-effective handling of variable workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B32as_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, utilizing an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 32 vCPUs and 16 physical cores on an x86_64 architecture. Operating at 3.525 GHz, it features 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core. The instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities and strong memory scores, alongside average multi-core and database performance. However, its burstable CPU allocation presents a tradeoff for sustained compute-heavy tasks, and large LLM inference performance is weak. This configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for variable workloads, making it suitable for software compilation, static web serving, database operations, and general-purpose applications with fluctuating resource demands.

      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.
