    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated cores, substantial memory capacity, and bundled local storage for multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D14 is a D-family virtual machine instance configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores on an Intel Xeon 8171M x86_64 processor running at 2.6 GHz. It features 112.0 GB of RAM and 819 GB of bundled local storage, operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Performance benchmarks show a clear tradeoff: single-core performance is weak, placing in the bottom 25% for stress-ng and Geekbench, while multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently achieve average tier results. The instance supports AVX-512 and AES instructions, enhancing cryptographic and vector calculations. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio and substantial local storage, the D14 is best suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose enterprise applications that benefit from multi-threaded scaling rather than raw single-core speed.

    Workload Profiles

    0.895Score
    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.
