    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-capacity storage server featuring forty-eight virtual cores, substantial memory, and twelve terabytes of local NVMe SSD capacity.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L48s_v3 is a storage-optimized server from the LSv3 family, featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 48 vCPUs, 24 physical cores, and a 2.8 GHz clock speed. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 384.0 GB of system memory and a substantial 12,012 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The instance supports AVX-512 and cryptographic acceleration, delivering strong benchmark results in memory performance, encryption, and image processing. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this server offers a high-density storage profile without GPU acceleration. It is designed for data-intensive workloads, including large-scale databases, transactional systems, and high-throughput storage applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.4Score
    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.
