    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM-to-vCPU density and local SSD storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32-16s_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores. The server is configured with 256.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, alongside a bundled 524 GB local SSD. Benchmark data shows weak single-core CPU performance but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. Database operations and static web serving perform in the average tier, with Redis SET operations reaching 12.39 million operations per second. This profile makes the instance suitable for memory-intensive workloads, such as database hosting and caching layers, where high memory capacity is prioritized over raw single-threaded processing speed.

    Workload Profiles

    0.69Score
    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.
