    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-speed NVMe storage, and exceptional single-threaded compression performance.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16ds_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, it provides 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores) and 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high 8.0 GB per core memory-to-vCPU ratio. The server includes 945 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and is premium storage capable. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core processing and database operations, but highlight top-tier single-threaded compression speeds, such as gzip compression at 36.52 GB/sec, and fast text generation for small LLM models. This hardware configuration is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including relational databases, in-memory caching, and data analytics.

    Workload Profiles

    1.7Score
    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.
