    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An Intel-powered compute instance with high clock speeds and a low-memory footprint for efficient CPU-bound processing.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16ls_v6 is a compute-optimized virtual machine from the Dlsv6 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and a dedicated clock speed of 4.2 GHz. The system is configured with 32.0 GB of system memory, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, and contains no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, including a Geekbench single-core score of 2104.0 and a top-tier text generation speed of 348.14 tokens/sec for small LLM models. However, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier. This server is designed for compute-heavy tasks with low memory requirements, such as software compilation, text processing, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.49Score
    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.
