    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density, memory-optimized virtual server featuring massive RAM and local storage for demanding enterprise database and multi-threaded workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure M176bds_4_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family, designed for resource-intensive enterprise workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8473C processor with 176 vCPUs and 88 physical cores running at 4.0 GHz, it features 3892.0 GB of RAM and 8192 GB of local storage. The server excels in multi-core processing and memory throughput, achieving top-tier benchmark results in database operations, Redis transactions, and multi-threaded decompression. It supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX, making it highly capable for complex mathematical and vector operations. Without dedicated GPUs, it relies on its massive CPU and memory capacity to handle demanding tasks. This configuration is best suited for large-scale in-memory databases, enterprise ERP systems, and heavy data processing pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    6.72Score
    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.
