    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual server featuring dedicated high-frequency Intel processors, integrated local storage, and advanced matrix extension capabilities.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D16lds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dldsv7 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor clocked at 4.2 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM and a 945 GB local storage disk. With a 1:2 memory-to-vCPU ratio, this instance is designed for compute-intensive tasks that require moderate memory. It supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, which contribute to strong single-threaded performance in compression benchmarks and efficient small-scale LLM text generation. The server is well-suited for workloads such as web serving, database operations, and compute-heavy applications that benefit from dedicated CPU resources and local storage without the overhead of high memory configurations.

    Workload Profiles

    1.48Score
    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.
