    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, integrated NVMe storage, and advanced matrix extension capabilities.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. Operating at 4.2 GHz, the CPU features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. The instance includes a bundled 945 GB local NVMe SSD, providing fast temporary storage. Benchmark data indicates average performance across standard compute and memory tasks, with a PassMark CPU score of 22224.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 19.51 million operations per second. It exhibits strong performance in small-model LLM text generation at 292.48 tokens per second. This hardware profile is suited for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, database operations, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
