    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for lightweight, memory-dense workloads without local storage.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E2s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv4 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical Intel Xeon 8272CL core running at 2.6 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it supports Premium Storage for remote disks. Performance benchmarks show a clear tradeoff: single-core performance and single-threaded compression tasks score in the average tier, whereas multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations fall into the lower percentiles due to the single physical core limitation. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-dense, low-compute workloads such as small caching nodes, lightweight databases, and basic web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.161Score
    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.
