      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring 256 GB RAM and 32 vCPUs, designed for high-capacity database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E32s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv4 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 instance provides 32 vCPUs (16 physical cores) running at 2.6 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of RAM. It features no local storage, relying instead on its Premium Storage capability, and lacks GPU accelerators. Benchmark results place the server in the average tier, with a multi-core stress-ng score of 29817.36 and a Redis SET throughput of 26.54 million operations per second. Large-block memory write bandwidth is measured at 43.64 GB/sec. Due to its high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core and strong database benchmark performance, the E32s_v4 is highly suited for memory-intensive applications, relational databases, and in-memory caching workloads.

      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.
