    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized virtual machine with dedicated AMD EPYC processing and substantial local storage for memory-bound enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96-48as_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a dedicated AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 24 physical cores and 48 vCPUs running at 3.525 GHz. It is equipped with 672.0 GB of RAM, providing a high ratio of 14.0 GB per core, alongside 1376 GB of local storage. Benchmark results show strong multi-core CPU performance and a top-tier PassMark memory score in the top 10%, though memory bandwidth and database operations remain in the average tier. The instance exhibits a performance tradeoff in LLM inference, where small model execution is strong but large 70B model text generation falls into the bottom 10%. This server is suited for memory-intensive workloads, in-memory databases, and multi-threaded data processing tasks that benefit from high memory density without requiring GPU acceleration.

    Workload Profiles

    1.77Score
    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.
