      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency, memory-optimized virtual server designed for demanding enterprise databases, in-memory caching, and intensive data processing workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure M176-88bs_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBSMediumMemoryv3 family, powered by a dedicated 4.0 GHz Intel Xeon 8473C processor. Operating on the x86_64 architecture via Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 88 vCPUs and 1536.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 17.45 GB. While it lacks local storage, it is optimized for premium block storage. Benchmarks show top-tier performance in database operations, Passmark CPU scores, and memory bandwidth, with large-block reads reaching 420.52 GB/sec. Multi-core compute and Redis operations also rank in the top 25%. This server is highly suited for memory-intensive workloads, including large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise data analytics.

      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.
