    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and local SSD storage for memory-bound database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E8-4ds_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 4 vCPUs (2 physical cores), 64.0 GB of RAM, and a 307 GB local SSD. While single-core benchmarks like Geekbench and stress-ng show average performance, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into the bottom 25%, highlighting a trade-off between high memory capacity and limited parallel compute power. This instance is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive workloads that require a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio but have modest parallel processing needs. It is well-suited for database operations, caching layers, and static web serving, but less optimal for heavy multi-threaded compute tasks such as software compilation or ray tracing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.37Score
    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.
