    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure E8d_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDv4 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. It includes 307 GB of local storage but lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show average performance in database operations (2917.65 on Passmark) and Redis SET operations (6.53 million operations/sec), supported by AVX-512 instruction sets. However, it exhibits weak performance in large-block memory bandwidth (28.37 GB/sec read) and Geekbench multi-core scores (4065.0). Qualitatively, this instance offers a balanced cost-to-resource profile for memory-intensive workloads that require local scratch space but do not demand high-performance computing. It is best suited for relational databases, caching layers, and moderate data processing, while being poorly suited for LLM inference or high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.434Score
    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.
