    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and local SSD storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Microsoft Azure E16as_v4 is an EASv4-series virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core. It includes 262 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results highlight strong single-core CPU performance and strong PassMark memory metrics, while multi-core operations, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average range. Conversely, LLM inference on larger models represents a performance tradeoff, showing weaker processing speeds. This configuration is suitable for memory-optimized workloads, including relational databases, caching systems, and general enterprise applications requiring dedicated CPU resources and substantial memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.8Score
    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.
