    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-bound workloads requiring minimal processing power.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16-4s_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs from 2 physical Intel Xeon 8272CL cores at 2.6 GHz. It is configured with 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a high ratio of 32.0 GB per vCPU, alongside 262 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Benchmark data reveals a performance profile where CPU and memory bandwidth metrics generally fall into the bottom 25% tier, including a stress-ng multi-core score of 3272.27 and a Passmark CPU score of 3961.34. Conversely, its Passmark memory score achieves an average rating. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that do not require intensive processing power. It is appropriate for memory-intensive caching, database buffering, and workloads with large memory footprints but low CPU utilization.

    Workload Profiles

    0.233Score
    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.
