    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high memory density, and integrated local SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16ds_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores with hyper-threading), 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 614 GB local SSD. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers average performance across standard compute and memory benchmarks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 10078.0 and a PassMark database score of 7992.24. It exhibits strong performance in text generation for small language models, achieving 289.27 tokens per second. Lacking GPU acceleration, the E16ds_v5 is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that benefit from local high-speed storage. It is suited for database hosting, caching layers, software compilation, and text processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    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.
