    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual instance pairing a massive sixty-four gigabyte RAM footprint with a lightweight dual-vCPU Intel processor configuration.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E8-2s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 2 vCPUs clocked at 2.6 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. This configuration delivers an exceptionally high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 32 GB per vCPU, though it lacks local storage and GPU resources. Benchmark results reflect this design, showing average single-core performance but lower multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics due to the low core count. Qualitatively, the server offers a cost-effective profile for memory-heavy workloads that do not require intensive parallel processing. It is highly suited for memory-bound applications, small databases, caching layers, and lightweight enterprise services.

    Workload Profiles

    0.151Score
    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.
