      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and dedicated Intel Xeon processing for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure E16_v5 is an Ev5-family memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM. It is powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C x86_64 processor running at 2.8 GHz with 8 physical cores and hyper-threading. The hardware configuration lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying entirely on remote storage. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the average tier for most operations, with a PassMark CPU score of 21149.34 and a Redis SET throughput of 15.85 million operations per second. It demonstrates strong performance in small-model LLM text generation at 279.0 tokens per second. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, this server is configured for memory-intensive workloads such as relational databases, in-memory caching, and data processing tasks that do not require local temporary storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      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.
