    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio, designed for database operations and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E32-16s_v5 is an ESv5-family virtual machine configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8370C processor at 2.8 GHz. Utilizing the x86_64 architecture and Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this memory-optimized instance offers a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core. It features no local storage but is Premium Storage capable, and contains no GPUs. Benchmark results indicate average performance across most categories, with a PassMark CPU score of 21320.68 and a Redis SET throughput of 16.01 million operations per second. It exhibits strong text generation capabilities on small language models, reaching 321.0 tokens per second. This server is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including database operations, caching, and software compilation, where high memory capacity is prioritized over local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.09Score
    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.
