    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, integrated local SSD storage, and strong single-core execution.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ads_v5 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It includes a bundled 614 GB local SSD and supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, while multi-core operations, database transactions, and web serving throughput remain in the average tier. A notable hardware tradeoff is the weak uncached large-block memory read and write bandwidth, which falls into the bottom 25%. With its balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and integrated local storage, this instance provides a cost-efficient profile for workloads such as relational databases, web serving, software compilation, and moderate text processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.72Score
    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.
