    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for diverse workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ads_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dadv6 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 AMD EPYC 9V74 processor featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores) running at 3.7 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU capabilities and text processing, while multi-core operations, database tasks, and web serving throughput remain average. However, large-block read-only memory bandwidth is weak, and large-scale LLM inference is poor. Qualitatively, the instance provides a balanced resource profile, offering cost-efficient compute and local storage density. It is highly suitable for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, text processing, and moderate database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.88Score
    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.
