    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors, high-speed local storage, and strong single-core performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ads_v6 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine from the Dadv6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores), 64.0 GB of RAM, and a 945 GB local disk. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, alongside average multi-core and database execution speeds. However, it exhibits weak memory bandwidth for large uncached blocks and poor performance on large-scale LLM inference. Lacking a GPU, this instance is qualitatively cost-effective for balanced workloads requiring moderate local storage. It is best suited for web serving, database operations, software compilation, and small-scale machine learning tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.897Score
    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.
