    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16-4ds_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs (2 physical cores, 2 threads per core) running at 2.6 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM and 614 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU performance but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. Given the high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32 GB per core, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads that do not demand heavy parallel processing. It is suited for database hosting, caching layers, and memory-bound enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.27Score
    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.
