    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev3 family, configured with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high 8.0 GB per core ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance includes 819 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data reveals a trade-off: single-core CPU performance and single-threaded text processing are weak, placing in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-core performance, memory read bandwidth, and database operations reach average tiers. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive applications that leverage multi-threading. It is best suited for databases, Redis caching, and general-purpose enterprise workloads rather than single-threaded or compute-heavy tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.83Score
    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.
