    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual server featuring massive RAM capacity and local storage, optimized for large-scale database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M64-16ms is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MS family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8280M processor featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores, operating at 2.7 GHz with a 105 MB L3 cache. The server is characterized by an exceptionally high memory capacity of 1792.0 GB (112.0 GB per core) and includes 2097 GB of local storage. Benchmark results highlight a clear tradeoff: while multi-core CPU performance, database operations, and memory bandwidth fall into the average range, single-core CPU performance is poor, ranking in the bottom 10%. Consequently, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads rather than compute-intensive tasks. It is highly suited for large-scale in-memory databases, enterprise applications with massive RAM requirements, and data caching layers.

    Workload Profiles

    0.595Score
    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.
