    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E4-2ds_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz, delivering 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core. The instance features 32.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, and includes 154 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU and Passmark memory performance, contrasted by poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results due to the dual-thread hardware constraint. This profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads. It is best suited for small-scale databases, caching systems, and memory-intensive applications that do not require extensive parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.21Score
    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.
