    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server with high-capacity local SSD storage, delivering strong multi-core performance and high memory bandwidth for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E96d_v5 is an EDv5-series virtual machine featuring 96 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 672.0 GB of RAM and 3686 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server delivers strong multi-core performance and memory bandwidth, both ranking in the top 25% of benchmarks. Cryptographic execution is particularly efficient, placing in the top 10% due to hardware-accelerated instruction sets. While single-core benchmarks and large-scale LLM text generation show average to weak performance, the server excels in multi-threaded tasks, database operations, and high-throughput web serving. This hardware profile is optimized for memory-intensive applications, relational databases, and caching systems that benefit from high local storage capacity and substantial memory density without requiring GPU acceleration.

    Workload Profiles

    3.9Score
    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.
