    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A storage-dense, memory-rich virtual server featuring high local capacity and balanced multi-core performance for parallelized database workloads.

    Microsoft Azure L48s_v2 is an LSv2-family virtual machine configured with 48 vCPUs, 24 physical cores, and 384.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7551 processor running at 3.2 GHz. It features a substantial 12,012 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable, though it lacks GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks highlight a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression tasks score in the bottom 10% to 25%, whereas multi-core operations, software compilation, and Passmark CPU scores sit firmly in the average tier. Notably, cryptographic performance is strong, ranking in the top 25%. With average memory bandwidth and database operations, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for high-capacity storage and memory-intensive parallel workloads. It is best suited for large databases, big data analytics, and multi-threaded transactional applications.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    1.1Score
    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.
