    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine with dedicated Intel processors and local SSD storage for memory-bound, low-compute workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E2d_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDv4 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon 8272CL processor (1 physical core, 2 threads) with x86_64 architecture, 16.0 GB of RAM (8.0 GB per core), and a 77 GB local SSD. Performance benchmarks show average single-core capabilities, such as a Geekbench single-core score of 1264.0, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are relatively low, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 1530.0 and uncached read bandwidth of 14.22 GB/sec. This server provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads. It is best suited for small databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive single-threaded tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.16Score
    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.
