    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring high memory density, local SSD storage, and balanced database and memory performance.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E20ds_v4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance from the EDSv4 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 20 dedicated vCPUs, 10 physical cores, and a 2.6 GHz clock speed. The hardware configuration includes 160.0 GB of RAM, providing an 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio, alongside a bundled 768 GB local SSD. Performance benchmarks generally fall within the average tier, with a PassMark CPU score of 19266.4 and Redis SET operations reaching 17.23 million operations per second. However, the instance shows weak performance in specific LLM tasks, such as text generation for small models and prompt processing for medium models. This server is structured for memory-intensive applications, database operations, and caching workloads that benefit from high memory density and local SSD storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.93Score
    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.
