    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity storage and memory-optimized server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and eleven terabytes of local storage.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L16aos_v4 is a storage and memory-focused virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a massive 11519 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server supports AVX-512 and cryptographic accelerations. Benchmarks reveal strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, though multi-core execution and database operations remain average. A key tradeoff is its uncached large-block memory read bandwidth, which performs in the bottom 25 percent. With its high local storage capacity and 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance is highly suited for database hosting, large-scale data processing, and storage-intensive workloads where local high-capacity disk access is critical, while avoiding the overhead of external storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.811Score
    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.
