    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8-2ds_v5 is a memory-optimized x86_64 server from the EDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 vCPUs paired with 64.0 GB of memory, providing an exceptionally high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32.0 GB per core. The server includes a 307 GB local SSD but lacks GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks show average single-core CPU and memory scores, but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results due to the low core count. This resource profile makes the E8-2ds_v5 qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads. It is best suited for database hosting, caching layers, and memory-intensive applications that do not require intensive 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.
