    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance combining top-tier single-core CPU performance with integrated local NVMe SSD storage for diverse workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ads_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dadsv7 family, powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC 9V45 processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores), 64.0 GB of RAM, and a 945 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating at 4.5 GHz, the processor delivers top-tier single-core performance in stress-ng and Geekbench benchmarks, alongside top-tier single-threaded compression and text processing. Multi-core performance, database operations, and memory bandwidth fall within the average tier. While the instance excels at small LLM inference, performance drops to the bottom 25% for large 70B model prompt processing. This server is suited for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, web serving, and database operations requiring fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1Score
    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.
