    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server featuring an exceptional memory-to-vCPU ratio and integrated local storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure FX64-16mds_v2 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the FXmdsv2 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs on 8 physical Intel Xeon 8573C cores running at 4.2 GHz. It is configured with 1344.0 GB of RAM, providing 84.0 GB of memory per core, alongside 3780 GB of local storage. Benchmark results indicate average CPU and memory read performance, with strong results in large-block memory writes, single-threaded gzip compression, and small-model LLM text generation. The server's high memory density and local storage capacity make it suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including large in-memory databases, caching systems, and data analytics pipelines that require substantial memory capacity relative to compute cores.

    Workload Profiles

    1.57Score
    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.
