    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-compute virtual server featuring 128 dedicated Intel vCPUs, fast local NVMe storage, and exceptional multi-threaded processing capabilities.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D128lds_v6 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 128 dedicated vCPUs (64 physical cores), 256.0 GB of memory (2.0 GB per core), and a bundled 7559 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and strong cryptographic execution. Benchmark results highlight exceptional throughput in static web serving, database operations, and multi-threaded decompression, alongside robust CPU-based LLM prompt processing. With its low memory-to-CPU ratio and high-capacity local storage, the D128lds_v6 provides a cost-efficient hardware profile for compute-intensive workloads, software compilation, high-throughput databases, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    6.1Score
    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.
