    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density ARM64 virtual machine delivering exceptional memory bandwidth and multi-core performance for enterprise database and compilation workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96ps_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epsv6 family, featuring 96 dedicated physical cores and 96 vCPUs powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. Built on the arm64 architecture and running under Microsoft Hyper-V, it is equipped with 672.0 GB of RAM, translating to 7.0 GB of memory per core. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show average single-core results but top-tier multi-core capabilities, particularly in memory bandwidth, multi-threaded decompression, and database operations like Redis SET. While LLM text generation for small models is a relative weak point, the high memory density and multi-core performance make this instance highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications. It is best suited for large databases, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    5.42Score
    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.
