    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual server featuring massive RAM capacity, bundled local storage, and strong multi-threaded memory bandwidth for data-heavy workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M128-64ms is a memory-optimized server instance utilizing the x86_64 architecture. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8280L processor running at 2.7 GHz, it provides 32 physical cores, 64 vCPUs, and a substantial 3892.0 GB of RAM, translating to 60.81 GB per core. The instance includes 4194 GB of local storage and lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmark results highlight a significant performance tradeoff: single-core CPU and text processing speeds are in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and large-block memory bandwidth perform in the top 25%. Multi-core CPU execution, Redis SET operations, and database benchmarks fall in the average range. Given this hardware profile, the instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads, such as large-scale in-memory databases and parallelized data processing tasks, where massive memory capacity and high memory bandwidth outweigh single-threaded processing requirements.

    Workload Profiles

    1.93Score
    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.
