    Server Description

    A high-density, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring ninety-six AMD EPYC vCPUs and local solid-state storage for demanding enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96as_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EASv4 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with 96 dedicated vCPUs and 48 physical cores. It features 672.0 GB of RAM, offering 7.0 GB of memory per core, alongside a 1376 GB local SSD with Premium Storage capabilities. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the server delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and encryption capabilities, ranking in the top 10% of benchmarked systems. Memory performance is strong for cached operations, though uncached large-block transfers remain average. Lacking a dedicated GPU, this instance relies on its high core count and substantial memory capacity to handle demanding workloads. It is highly suited for large-scale database operations, in-memory caching, multi-threaded software compilation, and CPU-based language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    2.8Score
    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.
