    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated local SSD storage for demanding database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M64bds_1_v3 is a memory-optimized server configured with 64 dedicated vCPUs and 1397.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8473C processor operating at 4.0 GHz. It features 3072 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage, but lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmarks indicate strong memory bandwidth, with large-block read speeds of 216.95 GB/sec, alongside high database performance, processing 70.71 million Redis SET operations per second. The processor supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and AMX, which assist in cryptographic and vector calculations. This instance is configured for memory-intensive workloads, including large-scale databases, in-memory caches, and data analytics.

    Workload Profiles

    3.3Score
    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.
