    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and local storage for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32a_v4 is an EAv4-family virtual machine configured with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per vCPU memory-optimized ratio. Powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz on Microsoft Hyper-V, it includes 819 GB of local storage but lacks dedicated GPUs. Benchmark data reveals a performance tradeoff: single-core stress-ng results are in the bottom 10%, while multi-core CPU, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently rank in the average tier. The instance excels in specific areas, such as image processing and text generation for small language models, which place in the top 25%. Given its high memory density and average multi-threaded capabilities, this server is suited for memory-intensive workloads, including database hosting, Redis caching, and multi-threaded software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    1.29Score
    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.
