    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processing and a low-memory profile for efficient CPU-bound workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16als_v6 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dalv6 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and a 3.7 GHz clock speed, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU performance and top-tier text processing capabilities, though multi-core metrics and uncached large-block read memory bandwidth are average to weak. This resource profile, offering 2.0 GB of RAM per vCPU, provides qualitative cost efficiency for CPU-bound tasks that do not demand massive memory footprints. It is suited for software compilation, text processing, web serving, and lightweight model inference, while the weak uncached memory bandwidth presents a tradeoff for memory-intensive database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.899Score
    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.
