    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated cores and high memory density for database and multi-threaded workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E16ps_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the EPSv5 family, featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing a memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. This server does not include local storage or GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks place the instance in the average tier for multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-threaded performance is relatively weak. With its high memory density and dedicated ARM cores, the E16ps_v5 is configured for memory-intensive workloads, database management, static web serving, and multi-threaded applications where local disk storage is not required.

    Workload Profiles

    1.01Score
    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.
