      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency, memory-intensive virtual server designed for massive in-memory databases and demanding single-threaded enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure FX96-24ms_v2 is a memory-intensive virtual machine configured with 24 dedicated vCPUs and 1832.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8573C processor at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides an exceptional memory-to-core ratio of 76.33 GB per core, though it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results highlight top-tier single-core performance, with Geekbench single-core and text processing scores in the top 10%, alongside strong memory write bandwidth of 118.92 GB/sec. This hardware profile is highly optimized for memory-bound workloads that require rapid single-threaded execution. It is best suited for hosting large in-memory databases, enterprise caching systems, and high-throughput data 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.
