    Server Description

    A massive scale-up platform combining 8.5 terabytes of memory with 416 virtual cores for demanding in-memory database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M416s_9_v2 is a memory-optimized virtual machine running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, designed for massive scale-up workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8280L processor with 416 vCPUs and 208 physical cores, it features 8568.0 GB of RAM and a 4194 GB local SSD. While single-core performance is modest, its multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth rank in the top 10% globally, supported by AVX-512 vector extensions. This high resource density makes it qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive applications, though it presents a tradeoff for single-threaded tasks. It is best suited for large-scale in-memory databases, Redis deployments, and highly parallel data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    10Score
    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.
