    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E4pds_v5 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the EPDSv5 family, utilizing a 4-core Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor running at 3.0 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio, alongside a 154 GB local disk with Premium Storage capabilities. Benchmarks show average CPU performance in stress-ng tests, but reveal weaknesses in memory bandwidth, bzip3 decompression, and LLM inference. PassMark database operations perform at an average level, while Redis SET operations and static web serving throughput remain weak. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads requiring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio without demanding extreme computational throughput, making it suitable for moderate database hosting, caching, and general memory-optimized applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.332Score
    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.
