    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A storage-dense server combining dedicated Intel Xeon processing, substantial memory, and massive local NVMe SSD capacity for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L32s_v3 is a storage-focused server from the LSv3 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C x86_64 processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. It features 256.0 GB of RAM and a substantial 8008 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, with no integrated GPUs. Benchmark results place its compute and database capabilities in the average range, including a PassMark CPU score of 37006.88 and Redis SET throughput of 31.46 million operations per second. However, its memory subsystem performs strongly, scoring in the top 25% on PassMark. Tradeoffs are evident in large-scale machine learning, where 70B LLM text generation drops to a poor 2.27 tokens per second. This hardware profile is suited for large database deployments, storage-heavy applications, and general-purpose enterprise workloads requiring high local storage density.

    Workload Profiles

    1.8Score
    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.
