    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, a high memory-to-core ratio, and integrated local SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E32d_v4 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the EDv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 32 dedicated vCPUs (16 physical cores) operating at 2.6 GHz, 256.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 1229 GB local SSD. The server delivers a strong PassMark memory score in the top 25% tier, alongside average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth performance. However, it exhibits poor performance for large-scale LLM inference, processing 70B model prompts at only 4.51 tokens per second. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core and local SSD storage, the E32d_v4 is well-suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching applications like Redis, which achieves 27.24 million operations per second.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
