    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors, fast local storage, and reliable performance for database and web applications.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ds_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 64.0 GB of RAM, establishing a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. The instance includes 614 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable, though it lacks a dedicated GPU. Performance benchmarks indicate average tier capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9821.0 and a static web serving throughput of 21.35 GB/sec. It also demonstrates strong performance in lightweight LLM text generation, reaching 265.09 tokens per second on a 135M model. This server provides a cost-effective balance of compute, memory, and local storage, making it highly suitable for general-purpose applications, web serving, software compilation, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.08Score
    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.
