    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local storage for balanced multi-threaded workloads and database operations.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure M32ls is an x86_64 server instance in the MS family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8280L processor running at 2.7 GHz. It features 32 vCPUs across 16 physical cores, 256.0 GB of RAM, and 1049 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. While single-core performance benchmarks for this instance fall into the bottom 10%, its multi-core capabilities, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently perform in the average middle 50% tier. The instance lacks GPU acceleration and newer instruction sets like AMX, but supports AVX, AVX512F, and AES. With an 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio, the M32ls is suited for memory-optimized workloads, database hosting, caching layers, and multi-threaded enterprise applications that benefit from high memory capacity rather than peak single-core CPU speeds.

    Workload Profiles

    0.984Score
    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.
