    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A massive memory-optimized platform featuring 416 dedicated vCPUs and 5.7 TB of RAM for enterprise database and high-throughput parallel workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M416s_v2 is a high-capacity, memory-optimized server from the MSv2 family, powered by Intel Xeon 8280L processors on the x86_64 architecture. Running on Microsoft Hyper-V, it delivers 416 dedicated vCPUs across 208 physical cores, paired with an extensive 5700.0 GB of RAM and 8389 GB of local SSD storage. While single-core benchmarks rank in the bottom 25%, its multi-core and memory bandwidth performance sit in the top 10% tier. This massive parallel processing capability is reflected in exceptional multi-threaded decompression, Passmark CPU scores, and Redis SET operations exceeding 260 million operations per second. Lacking GPU acceleration, it is not suited for intensive LLM text generation but excels in hosting massive in-memory databases, enterprise database management systems, and high-throughput data warehousing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    7.7Score
    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.
