      Server Description

      An AMD-powered virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E32-16as_v5 is an EASv5-family virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16 GB per core. Powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, it operates under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but is Premium Storage capable. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and strong text generation speeds for small language models, alongside average multi-core and memory read capabilities, though large-block memory write bandwidth is weak. This configuration is suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching layers.

      Workload Profiles

      0.72Score
      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.
