    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M128-64bds_v3 is a memory-optimized server from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, configured with 64 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8473C x86_64 processor running at 4.0 GHz. It features 1024.0 GB of RAM, a 105 MB L3 cache, and a 410 GB local SSD. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the server delivers top-tier memory bandwidth of 366.27 GB/sec and exceptional database performance, ranking in the top 10% of benchmarks. The CPU supports advanced vector and matrix extensions, enhancing cryptographic and vector calculations. Lacking a GPU, it is not intended for hardware-accelerated graphics, but its high memory-to-core ratio and strong multi-core capabilities make it highly efficient for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    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.
