    Server Description

    An AMD-powered virtual machine offering high memory density and local SSD storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E32-8ads_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EADSv5 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 256.0 GB of system memory, and a bundled 1229 GB local SSD. Benchmark data indicates strong single-core CPU performance, while multi-core execution, Redis operations, and static web serving fall into the average range. However, large-block memory bandwidth and medium-model prompt processing are weaker. With a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio of 32.0 GB per core, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads. It is highly suitable for hosting databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise applications that require significant memory capacity and local storage without requiring high parallel compute scaling.

    Workload Profiles

    0.45Score
    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.
