    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-based memory-optimized instance featuring high memory bandwidth, local NVMe storage, and scalable multi-threaded performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32pds_v6 is a memory-optimized arm64 server instance equipped with 32 dedicated physical cores based on the Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor operating at 3.4 GHz. Featuring 256 GB of system RAM, it provides an 8 GB per vCPU allocation alongside a bundled 1,890 GB local NVMe SSD. In benchmark evaluations, the server demonstrates top-tier memory bandwidth reaching 449.0 GB/sec for large uncached reads and top-tier database operation throughput. Multi-core execution and compilation benchmarks show strong overall performance, while single-core metrics remain in the average tier. The high memory density and local high-speed storage yield efficient resource availability for data-intensive applications. Lacking x86 extensions like AVX-512, execution relies on ARM64 optimization. The instance fits high-throughput database management, in-memory caching systems, large static web serving, and parallel software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    2.5Score
    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.
