    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core compute-optimized server featuring massive local storage and advanced matrix extensions for parallelized, data-intensive workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D128lds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 128 vCPUs and 64 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes 256.0 GB of RAM and a substantial 7559 GB of bundled local storage. While it lacks GPU acceleration, its hardware profile delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, as evidenced by a stress-ng multi-core score of 145,373.21 and uncached read speeds of 657.87 GB/sec. Advanced vector and matrix extensions further accelerate cryptographic and mathematical operations. This configuration is highly cost-efficient for compute-intensive, storage-heavy workloads such as high-throughput database operations, Redis caching, multi-threaded data decompression, and CPU-based LLM prompt processing.

    Workload Profiles

    7.53Score
    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.
