    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A storage-dense virtual machine featuring massive local NVMe capacity and balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L32s_v2 is an LSv2-family virtual machine designed for storage-intensive workloads. Powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7551 processor running at 3.2 GHz, it provides 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. The server features a substantial 8008 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage, though it lacks GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks indicate a clear tradeoff: single-core CPU and single-threaded compression performance are weak, while multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at average levels. For example, Redis SET operations reach 18.21 million operations per second, and static web serving throughput is 12.95 GB/sec. This hardware profile offers high resource density, making it qualitatively cost-effective for large databases, big data processing, and caching applications that require massive local storage capacity rather than high single-threaded compute performance.

    Workload Profiles

    0.837Score
    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.
