    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized, dedicated-core virtual machine with high-capacity local storage, engineered for demanding database operations and cryptographic workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure DC32ds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the DDCSv3 family, featuring 32 dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio, and includes 2458 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server demonstrates strong performance in multi-core processing, cryptography, and database operations, as evidenced by its top-tier Passmark database and Geekbench multi-core scores. While it delivers high throughput for static web serving and small-model prompt processing, it exhibits weaker performance in large-model LLM text generation due to the absence of GPU hardware. This server is highly suited for memory-intensive databases, enterprise applications, and data caching workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    2.59Score
    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.
