    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM-to-core density and local SSD storage for memory-intensive database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16-8ads_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 614 GB local SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance, though its multi-core performance and large-block memory write bandwidth are average to weak. With a high resource density of 16.0 GB of RAM per core, it provides a balanced profile for memory-heavy workloads. It is highly suited for database operations, web serving, and memory-bound enterprise applications that benefit from local SSD storage and premium storage capabilities, while avoiding workloads dependent on high-speed multi-threaded memory writes.

    Workload Profiles

    0.45Score
    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.
