    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated physical cores and local storage for database and web serving workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E20pds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the EPDSv5 family, featuring 20 dedicated physical cores on a 3.0 GHz Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor. It is equipped with 160.0 GB of RAM, offering a memory-optimized 8.0 GB per core ratio, alongside 768 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this arm64 server delivers balanced, average-tier performance across key benchmarks, including a PassMark CPU score of 14045.7 and a database operations score of 13959.39. It handles 28.38 million Redis SET operations per second and provides 24.42 GB/sec of static web serving throughput. Lacking AVX and AMX instruction sets, it is not designed for heavy vector math but serves as a cost-efficient, resource-dense platform for memory-intensive workloads, database hosting, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.22Score
    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.
