    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A massive-memory x86_64 server featuring high-frequency Intel Xeon processors and local storage for demanding enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    The Microsoft Azure M176-88bds_4_v3 is a high-capacity, memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8473C processor with 88 dedicated vCPUs running at 4.0 GHz, it features 3892.0 GB of RAM and 8192 GB of local storage. This x86_64 server excels in memory-intensive and data-heavy operations, delivering top-tier memory bandwidth of 419.61 GB/sec for uncached reads and outstanding database performance. It supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, enabling strong CPU-based machine learning inference and rapid software compilation. Lacking a GPU, it relies on its high-frequency CPU and massive memory density to deliver qualitative cost efficiency for large-scale enterprise workloads. It is highly suited for large databases, in-memory analytics, and demanding enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    4.95Score
    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.
