    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density, dedicated AMD EPYC processing, and local SSD storage for memory-bound workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E32-8as_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine configured with an AMD EPYC 7763 processor, offering 8 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. Operating at 3.525 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance features a high memory-to-core ratio of 32.0 GB per core and includes a 524 GB local SSD. Benchmark results show strong single-core CPU performance, though large-block memory write bandwidth and medium-model LLM prompt processing represent notable performance tradeoffs, scoring in the bottom 25%. With its high memory density, local SSD storage, and support for hardware-accelerated cryptography flags like AES and SHA_NI, the E32-8as_v4 is highly suited for memory-intensive applications, secure database operations, and caching workloads. It provides a balanced profile for workloads requiring massive memory capacity without the cost of high CPU core counts.

    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.
