    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused x86 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, low memory density, and integrated local SSD storage.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16lds_v5 is an x86_64 server within the DLDSv5 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-CPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, and includes a 614 GB local SSD. Benchmark results place the server in the average tier for general compute, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9941.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 15528.25. However, it exhibits strong performance in text generation for small language models, reaching 274.55 tokens/sec. The low-memory configuration offers a cost-efficient profile for compute-bound tasks that do not demand large memory footprints. This server is suitable for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.1Score
    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.
