    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density and local SSD storage for memory-bound database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16-8as_v4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a 262 GB local SSD. While its memory-to-core ratio is high at 16.0 GB per core, benchmark results indicate a performance tradeoff, with poor single-core and weak multi-core CPU scores on stress-ng. Conversely, it delivers average performance in general computing tasks, including Geekbench, Passmark, and small-model LLM inference. This hardware profile makes the instance highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive, compute-light workloads such as database operations, caching layers, and static web serving.

    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.
