    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and 64 GB RAM for reliable multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv4 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor operating at 2.6 GHz, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration, relying entirely on network-attached storage. Benchmark results place the D16_v4 in the average performance tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 7938.0 and a static web serving throughput of 12.04 GB/sec. While it handles small-scale LLM inference and general database operations efficiently, its performance drops to the bottom 25% when processing prompts for medium 7B models. This hardware profile makes the D16_v4 highly suitable for balanced workloads such as web serving, application hosting, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    0.794Score
    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.
