    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, high-capacity RAM, and local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E32bds_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores. Operating at 2.8 GHz, this x86_64 server features 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high 8.0 GB per core ratio, alongside 1229 GB of local SSD storage. It supports Premium Storage for enhanced block storage performance. Benchmark data indicates strong memory performance, placing in the top 25% for Passmark memory tests, with a large-block uncached read bandwidth of 151.75 GB/sec. Compute benchmarks show average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng score of 31078.76. The instance is well-suited for memory-intensive workloads, relational databases, and caching layers like Redis, where it achieves 31.6 million operations per second. However, the lack of GPU acceleration limits its efficiency for large-scale machine learning tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.8Score
    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.
