    Server Description

    A high-capacity memory-optimized virtual machine featuring massive RAM, local SSD storage, and advanced Intel Xeon processors for enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure M176-88bds_4_v3 is a memory-optimized server from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8473C processor. Operating at 4.0 GHz, this x86_64 system provides 88 vCPUs across 44 physical cores, supported by a 105 MB L3 cache and advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. It features an exceptionally large memory capacity of 3892.0 GB alongside 8192 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data highlights top-tier performance in large-block memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving, alongside strong multi-core processing capabilities. Lacking a dedicated GPU, this server is designed for memory-intensive enterprise workloads. It is highly suited for large-scale databases, in-memory data analytics, and complex software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    4.9Score
    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.
