    Server Description

    A memory-intensive server combining high-frequency Intel Xeon processors with massive RAM capacity and fast local NVMe storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure FX48mds_v2 is a memory-optimized server featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It is equipped with 1008.0 GB of RAM, yielding 21.0 GB per core, and includes a 2835 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the x86_64 instance supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show strong memory bandwidth, with large block reads at 330.82 GB/sec, and top-tier single-core performance. The server excels in database operations, achieving 74.99 million operations per second in Redis SET benchmarks. Lacking a dedicated GPU, it relies on Intel AMX for CPU-based inference. This configuration is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data analytics.

    Workload Profiles

    3.8Score
    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.
