    Server Description

    A high-frequency, memory-intensive virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and fast local NVMe storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedCompute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure FX24mds_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the FXmdsv2 family, powered by 24 dedicated vCPUs across 12 physical Intel Xeon 8573C cores running at 4.2 GHz. It features 504.0 GB of RAM, providing an exceptional 21.0 GB of memory per vCPU, alongside a bundled 1417 GB NVMe SSD. Designed for memory-intensive and high-compute workloads, the instance excels in single-core tasks, scoring in the top tier on Geekbench single-core, image processing, and text processing benchmarks. It also delivers strong performance in data compression and CPU-based LLM inference, leveraging Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). The FX24mds_v2 is highly cost-efficient for resource-dense applications, making it an excellent fit for large in-memory databases, complex data processing, software compilation, and enterprise-grade web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    2.2Score
    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.
