    Server Description

    A high-memory virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and local storage for memory-intensive, single-core-heavy workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E16-4ds_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the Edsv6 family, featuring an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It configures 4 dedicated vCPUs across 2 physical cores, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM and 945 GB of local storage. Performance benchmarks show a strong single-core profile, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2093.0 and high single-threaded gzip compression speeds. However, multi-core execution and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, as evidenced by lower stress-ng multi-core and uncached memory read/write metrics. This resource profile offers high memory density relative to compute capacity, making it qualitatively cost-effective for memory-heavy but compute-light tasks. It is best suited for database operations, caching layers, and text processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.495Score
    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.
