      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for single-threaded applications and light caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E2s_v5 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the ESv5 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical Intel Xeon 8370C core running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, though it lacks local storage and GPUs. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU and text processing capabilities, but multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations fall into the bottom 10% due to the single physical core limitation. Consequently, this instance is best suited for memory-sensitive, single-threaded workloads, small-scale caching, or light text processing where high memory capacity is required without intensive parallel compute demands.

      Workload Profiles

      0.21Score
      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.
