    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E16-8ds_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs running at 2.6 GHz. It features a substantial memory allocation of 128.0 GB and a 614 GB local SSD, with support for Premium Storage. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard compute and memory tasks, with stress-ng scores of 1415.19 (single-core) and 7440.93 (multi-core), and a Redis SET throughput of 7.04 million operations per second. However, it exhibits weaker performance in multi-threaded decompression and medium LLM inference. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads that benefit from local SSD storage, such as relational databases, in-memory caches, and enterprise applications, rather than compute-heavy parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.46Score
    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.
