    Server Description

    A compute-optimized virtual machine featuring high CPU density, dedicated Intel Xeon cores, and balanced local storage for intensive processing workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure F48s_v2 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the FSv2 family, featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and managed by Microsoft Hyper-V, it includes 96.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance is Premium Storage capable and includes 393 GB of local storage, though it lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show average CPU performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 43729.45, alongside strong memory subsystem performance in PassMark testing. This server is designed for compute-heavy workloads such as compilation, batch processing, and web serving, where high CPU density is required without massive memory overhead.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
