    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-speed local storage, and advanced matrix extension support.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv6 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 945 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 instance includes advanced CPU features like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmark results indicate solid mid-range performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 10861.0 and a static web serving throughput of 24.09 GB/sec. It also demonstrates strong text generation capabilities on small language models, reaching 292.48 tokens/sec. Lacking a GPU, it relies on its balanced CPU-to-memory ratio and local storage to deliver cost-effective performance. This instance is highly suited for database hosting, software compilation, web serving, and general-purpose enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.25Score
    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.
