    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and substantial bundled local storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure E96ds_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Featuring 768.0 GB of RAM and 5669 GB of bundled local storage, this instance provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. Benchmark data highlights top-tier performance in memory bandwidth, database operations, and multi-threaded CPU execution, with Redis SET operations reaching 122.52 million operations per second. The processor supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX, enhancing its capability for vector and matrix calculations. The architecture includes 260 MB of L3 cache and dedicated CPU allocation, ensuring stable performance under sustained multi-threaded execution. This server is designed for memory-intensive workloads, large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data-heavy enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    5.48Score
    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.
