    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64-powered virtual machine offering high memory density and local storage for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E2pds_v5 is an ARM64-based virtual machine designed for memory-intensive workloads. Powered by a 2-core Ampere Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz, it provides 16.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio. The instance includes 77 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show average single-core capabilities, such as a stress-ng single-core score of 1791.39, but weaker multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics. Lacking advanced vector extensions, it is not suited for heavy mathematical computation or machine learning. Qualitatively, it offers a cost-efficient profile for memory-heavy, low-compute tasks. It is best suited for small databases, Redis caching, and lightweight web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.197Score
    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.
