      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine delivering high memory bandwidth and dedicated core performance for memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16ps_v6 is an ARM-based, memory-optimized virtual machine from the Epsv6 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features a dedicated 16-core Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor clocked at 3.4 GHz with an arm64 architecture, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but supports Premium Storage. Benchmark data highlights top-tier memory performance, with the Passmark memory score in the top 10% and large-block memory bandwidth in the top 25%. However, CPU-centric benchmarks and medium LLM prompt processing show average to weak performance. This profile makes the E16ps_v6 highly cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads like caching and in-memory databases, provided they do not require local storage or x86-specific instruction sets.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      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.
