    Server Description

    An AMD-powered virtual machine featuring dense local NVMe SSD storage and strong single-core performance for database and text processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L8as_v4 is an x86_64 storage-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores), 64.0 GB of system memory, and a bundled 1920 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance supports AVX-512 extensions and hardware cryptography. Benchmark data highlights strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, while multi-core execution, database operations, and memory write bandwidth remain average. A notable performance tradeoff is its weak uncached large-block read memory bandwidth. Qualitatively, the server provides high local storage density relative to its compute resources. It is best suited for database workloads, text processing, and web serving applications requiring fast local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.56Score
    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.
