    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for memory-intensive database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32-8s_v3 is an ESv3-family virtual machine built on the x86_64 architecture, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor at 2.6 GHz with 4 physical cores, it includes a 524 GB local SSD and supports Premium Storage, though it lacks a GPU. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 6562.94, and average memory bandwidth, including 49.76 GB/sec for uncached large-block reads. However, single-core processing and web serving throughput are weak. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32 GB per core, this server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads. It is best suited for database operations, in-memory caching, and memory-intensive enterprise applications rather than compute-heavy tasks or LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.4Score
    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.
