    Server Description

    A storage-dense server combining dedicated AMD EPYC processing, 256 GB of RAM, and an 8-terabyte local NVMe SSD for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L32as_v3 is an x86_64 server in the LASv3 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 32 dedicated vCPUs, 16 physical cores, 256.0 GB of system memory, and a substantial 8008 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU and memory performance, alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. However, large LLM inference tasks show weak performance, representing a clear tradeoff. This server is highly suited for storage-heavy databases, memory-intensive applications, and data processing workloads that leverage its massive local NVMe storage capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
