    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-frequency, memory-intensive server featuring massive RAM capacity and fast local NVMe storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure FX48-24mds_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine featuring an Intel Xeon 8573C x86_64 processor with 12 physical cores, 24 vCPUs, and a high clock speed of 4.2 GHz. It is equipped with 1008.0 GB of RAM, yielding 42.0 GB of memory per core, alongside a bundled 2835 GB NVMe SSD. The server delivers top-tier single-core performance, as evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2339.0 and strong single-threaded gzip compression of 34.71 GB/sec. Advanced hardware features include Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. This configuration provides high resource density for memory-intensive workloads, making it highly suitable for large-scale databases, in-memory data stores, and complex text processing applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.3Score
    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.
