    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density compute server featuring 128 vCPUs, advanced matrix extensions, and massive bundled NVMe SSD storage for intensive multi-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D128lds_v7 is an x86_64 compute-optimized virtual machine featuring 128 vCPUs across 64 physical Intel Xeon 6973P-C cores clocked at 4.2 GHz. It is configured with 256.0 GB of RAM, representing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and includes a bundled 7559 GB NVMe SSD. Benchmark data indicates top-tier multi-core CPU performance, high memory bandwidth, and exceptional database operations, with Redis SET operations reaching 196.23 million operations per second. The processor supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions, enhancing vector and matrix calculations. While single-core performance and memory capacity are moderate, the server offers high compute density and local storage throughput. This configuration is suited for multi-threaded workloads, software compilation, static web serving, and text processing.

    Workload Profiles

    7.7Score
    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.
