    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual machine featuring high-speed AMD EPYC processing, integrated NVMe SSD storage, and a streamlined memory-to-core ratio.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D16alds_v6 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Daldv6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD. This server exhibits strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, placing in the top 25% of benchmarks, while multi-core operations and memory bandwidth generally perform in the average tier. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, it represents a cost-efficient option for compute-centric workloads that do not demand massive memory allocations. The D16alds_v6 is well-suited for software compilation, web serving, database operations, and small-scale language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.87Score
    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.
