      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-focused x86 server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a low memory footprint for efficient single-threaded processing.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D16als_v6 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server from the Dalv6 family, powered by a dedicated 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. It features 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, alongside average multi-core and database performance. However, uncached large-block read memory bandwidth is weak, representing a key hardware tradeoff. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-bound tasks that do not require massive memory allocations, such as web serving, software compilation, and text processing.

      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.
