    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM64-powered virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated physical cores and balanced memory for efficient scale-out workloads and web serving.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D16ps_v5 is an ARM64-based general-purpose virtual machine from the DPSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Ampere Neoverse-N1 ARMv8 processor with 16 dedicated physical cores, operating at 3.0 GHz, and 64.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9,616.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 28,878.29, alongside a static web serving throughput of 18.71 GB/sec. However, single-core and cryptographic performance are relatively weak. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for scale-out workloads, making it suitable for web serving, database operations, software compilation, and general-purpose application hosting.

    Workload Profiles

    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.
