    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine offering dedicated physical cores and high memory bandwidth for compute-heavy, low-memory workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16pls_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dplsv6 family, featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. Equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, this server provides a compute-focused 2.0 GB per core ratio without bundled local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks reveal top-tier memory performance, highlighted by a strong Passmark memory score and high large-block memory bandwidth, alongside average CPU and database performance. The absence of local storage requires external premium storage integration. This configuration represents a cost-efficient option for compute-intensive workloads with moderate memory requirements, such as web serving, software compilation, and multi-threaded application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    1.55Score
    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.
