    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for low-compute, memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E4-2ds_v4 is a memory-optimized server from the EDSv4 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 1 physical core and 2 vCPUs at 2.6 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 154 GB local SSD. While the server offers a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core, benchmark results reveal significant computational limitations. The stress-ng multi-core score of 1847.88 and large-block memory bandwidth of 12.62 GB/sec both rank in the bottom 10%, though single-core Geekbench performance remains average. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads such as small databases, caching layers, and lightweight enterprise applications, but is poorly suited for CPU-intensive tasks or high-throughput web serving.

    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.
