    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86_64 virtual machine featuring high memory density, fast local SSD storage, and dedicated Intel Xeon processing power.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E16bds_v5 is an x86_64 server configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, utilizing an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. This memory-optimized instance features a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and includes 614 GB of local SSD storage. Performance benchmarks indicate solid capabilities for data-intensive tasks, with a PassMark database score of 7921.71 and Redis SET performance reaching 15.88 million operations per second. While the lack of a dedicated GPU limits its utility for heavy machine learning workloads, its high memory capacity and fast local storage make it highly efficient for memory-bound applications. It is optimized for relational databases, in-memory caches, software compilation, and static web serving.

    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.
