      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density relative to compute resources for memory-bound workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16-4s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine in the ESv4 family, configured with 4 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of RAM, offering a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32 GB per vCPU, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show weak CPU and memory bandwidth results, placing the instance in the bottom 25% for most compute-heavy tasks, though it maintains average single-core Geekbench and Passmark memory scores. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that do not require intensive parallel processing, such as database caching layers and memory-intensive, low-concurrency databases.

      Workload Profiles

      0.26Score
      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.
