    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A compute-focused virtual machine featuring high-frequency Intel processors, advanced matrix extensions, and fast local NVMe SSD storage for resource-dense workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D16lds_v7 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dldsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores), 32.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD. The CPU architecture supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX for matrix operations. Benchmarks indicate strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression at 32.42 GB/sec, alongside average multi-core and database performance. With a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, this instance offers a cost-efficient profile for compute-heavy workloads that require fast local storage but have modest memory requirements. It is highly suitable for web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations.

    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.
