      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D16as_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DASv5 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor operating at 3.525 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores, 64.0 GB of RAM, and no bundled local storage, though it supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results show strong single-core CPU performance and strong text generation speeds for small language models, while multi-core CPU performance, memory read bandwidth, and web serving throughput remain average. A key tradeoff is its weak large-block memory write bandwidth, which falls into the bottom 25%. Lacking a GPU, this instance is designed for non-accelerated workloads. The balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio makes this server suitable for general-purpose applications, including web serving, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.71Score
      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.
