    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD processors, a high memory-to-core ratio, and integrated local SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure EC2ads_v5 is an x86_64 virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of system memory, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an AMD processor, this instance provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, classifying it as a memory-optimized resource. It comes equipped with 77 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage for expandable disk options, though it does not include complimentary public IPv4 addresses. The combination of dedicated compute resources, a high memory-to-vCPU ratio, and local solid-state storage makes this server suitable for memory-sensitive workloads such as small-scale databases, caching systems, and lightweight enterprise applications that require low-latency local scratch space without demanding high CPU core counts.

    Workload Profiles

    0.12Score
    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.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3).
