    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core-count general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, balanced memory, and substantial local storage for multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D128ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, powered by 128 dedicated vCPUs (64 physical cores) on an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It is configured with 512.0 GB of RAM and 7559 GB of local storage, with no GPU accelerators. Benchmarks indicate top-tier (top 10%) performance in multi-core CPU execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-core performance and memory scores remain in the average tier. This instance provides high resource density, making it suitable for large-scale databases, multi-threaded data processing, and high-throughput web serving workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    7.76Score
    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.
