      Server Description

      A compute-focused virtual server with a low memory-to-core ratio, designed for processing-intensive workloads without local storage requirements.

      Compute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure D16ls_v5 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance from the DLSv5 family, running on a Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and a clock speed of 2.8 GHz. The hardware configuration includes 32.0 GB of RAM, representing a 2.0 GB per vCPU ratio, with no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks indicate average tier capabilities, with a PassMark CPU score of 21165.21 and a multi-core stress-ng score of 15530.57. The instance achieves a static web serving throughput of 20.33 GB/sec and handles 15.59 million Redis SET operations per second. Given its low memory-to-CPU ratio and lack of local storage, this instance is suited for compute-bound tasks such as web serving, software compilation, and lightweight data processing.

      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.
