    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine combining high memory density and local storage for database operations and memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E32pds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epdsv6 family, featuring 32 dedicated physical cores powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is configured with 256.0 GB of RAM, offering a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core, alongside 1890 GB of local storage. Benchmark data highlights top-tier performance in memory bandwidth and database operations, alongside strong multi-core processing and Redis SET throughput. However, single-core execution and large-model LLM prompt processing represent performance tradeoffs, with the latter falling into the bottom 10% tier. This server provides qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive and storage-heavy workloads due to its high resource density and ARM architecture. It is best suited for database operations, in-memory caching, and static web serving, while being less optimal for vector-heavy compute tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    2.55Score
    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.
