    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced virtual machine featuring sixteen virtual cores and sixty-four gigabytes of memory for multi-threaded general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16_v3 is a Dv3-family virtual machine configured with 16 vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with an x86_64 architecture, this instance features 8 physical cores, a 2.3 GHz clock speed, and 410 GB of local storage. Benchmark data reveals a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression tasks score in the bottom 10%, while multi-core operations, software compilation, and PassMark CPU tests perform in the average tier. Memory read bandwidth is average, but large-block write bandwidth is weak. With average performance in Redis SET operations and static web serving, this server is suited for multi-threaded general-purpose applications, moderate database workloads, and web serving that can utilize its balanced resource allocation without requiring high single-core performance.

    Workload Profiles

    0.55Score
    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.
