    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, integrated local storage, and hardware-accelerated matrix and vector operations.

    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 with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 8 physical cores running at 4.2 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of RAM, a 945 GB local disk, and supports Premium Storage. The x86_64 architecture includes a 480 MB L3 cache and advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX for matrix operations. In benchmarks, the server demonstrates strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression reaching 35.66 GB/sec and small-model LLM text generation achieving a top-tier 354.35 tokens per second. Other metrics, such as a Passmark CPU score of 27311.65 and Redis SET throughput of 27.91 million operations per second, fall in the average tier. This balanced resource profile makes the D16ds_v7 suitable for relational databases, web serving, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    1.51Score
    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.
