      Server Description

      An Intel-powered virtual machine offering high memory density and optimized remote block storage performance for enterprise database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16bs_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EBSv5 family, powered by a dedicated 16-vCPU Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high 8.0 GB memory-per-core ratio, while omitting local storage and GPU hardware. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the server delivers stable performance, highlighted by a multi-core stress-ng score of 15534.08 and a Redis throughput of 15.81 million SET operations per second. It also demonstrates strong efficiency in lightweight LLM text generation, reaching 268.04 tokens per second on a 135M model. Lacking local disks, it relies on remote premium block storage, making it a cost-effective choice for memory-intensive workloads. This configuration is well-suited for database operations, in-memory caching, and software compilation tasks.

      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.
