    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

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

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M176-88bds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, designed for memory-intensive enterprise workloads. It features 88 dedicated Intel Xeon 8473C vCPUs running at 4.0 GHz, 1536.0 GB of RAM, and a 410 GB local SSD. The server delivers top-tier memory bandwidth and multi-core CPU performance, supported by advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. While single-core performance is average, its massive memory capacity and strong multi-threaded capabilities make it highly efficient for large-scale databases, in-memory analytics, and heavy data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    4.8Score
    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.
