    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated high-frequency Intel Xeon processors and integrated local NVMe SSD storage for general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. While its overall compute and memory bandwidth benchmarks sit within the average tier, the server exhibits strong single-threaded compression performance and top-tier text generation speeds for small LLM models, aided by Advanced Matrix Extensions. Lacking a GPU, it represents a balanced resource profile for database operations, web serving, and general-purpose enterprise workloads requiring fast local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
