    Server Description

    A high-memory, dual-vCPU instance powered by AMD EPYC, designed for memory-intensive workloads with low parallel compute requirements.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E4-2as_v4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance from the EASv4 family, featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It is configured with 2 vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads), 32.0 GB of RAM, and a 66 GB local SSD. While single-core CPU performance is strong, multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth are limited, as evidenced by lower benchmark scores in database operations, Redis throughput, and multi-threaded processing. This instance provides high memory density relative to its compute resources, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy but compute-light workloads. It is best suited for lightweight memory-intensive applications, text processing, and caching layers with moderate throughput requirements.

    Workload Profiles

    0.17Score
    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.
