    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring sixteen virtual cores, local SSD storage, and steady multi-threaded performance for standard enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D16_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with 16 vCPUs and 8 physical cores running at 2.3 GHz. Managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 64.0 GB of RAM and 410 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data indicates a clear trade-off: single-core CPU performance is limited, ranking in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth reach average tiers. Large-block memory write speeds are weaker, landing in the bottom 25%. With average performance in Redis SET operations and static web serving, this instance is suitable for multi-threaded workloads, general-purpose applications, and moderate database tasks that benefit from balanced memory-to-vCPU ratios without requiring high single-thread execution speeds.

    Workload Profiles

    0.54Score
    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.
