    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and integrated local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16-8ds_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8370C processor operating at 2.8 GHz, delivering 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores. The server features 128.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core, and includes a bundled 614 GB local SSD. Benchmark results indicate average performance across standard compute and memory tasks, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6133.0 and Redis SET operations reaching 7.87 million operations per second. However, multi-threaded decompression and medium-sized LLM inference tasks show weaker performance. This configuration is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including database hosting, in-memory caching, and data buffering applications that benefit from high memory density and local SSD storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.62Score
    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.
