    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose server with dedicated Intel Xeon processors, advanced matrix extensions, and optimized network capabilities for standard workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16ns_v6 is an x86_64 general-purpose server from the Dnv6 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz, it includes advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and AMX. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on external Premium Storage. In benchmark testing, the server demonstrates average multi-core performance with a stress-ng score of 15861.01, but shows strong capabilities in single-threaded gzip compression at 31.44 GB/sec and top-tier performance in small-model LLM text generation at 404.96 tokens/sec. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server is suited for web serving, database operations, and CPU-based machine learning inference workloads where local storage is not a primary requirement.

    Workload Profiles

    1.41Score
    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.
